Intel 520 Series 240GB (Raid 0 update) SSD Review

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Performance in ATTO is great, and we record around 1 GB/s with both read and write tests. This slots the Intel Series 520 RAID 0 configuration in right behind the OCZ RevoDrive 3 x2 480GB.

Above, some comparison results from other leading drives currently available on the market today.

  1. Id be happy if I could afford one of these, never mind two. nice performance. im off to cry in a corner.

  2. Work well in RAID 0, but £800 was more than my last system cost. still we can dream, right?

  3. These are amazing SSD drives provided by intel.

  4. You missed a huge performance gain by not installing an intel rst version.
    rapid storage technology gives a boost to the low/mid size file transfer rates which really makes a windows based operating system fly.
    always only use the rst version from the boards download page along w/ being on the latest bios.
    one little glitch to know about; most times write back cache is disabled by default.
    open rst/click volume icon/toggle write back cache on/off/on.
    re-run the atto bench and look for the big performance gain.
