** Introducing the Intel 520 Series Solid-State Drives** Using Intels industry leading, compute-quality 25nm NAND Flash memory manufacturing processes, the Intel Solid-State Drive (SSD) 520 Series offers exceptional performance over the 6 Gb SATA interface to outperform traditional hard disk drives by an even greater margin. With random read performance up to 40, 000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) & sequential read performance of up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s), your PC will blaze through the most demanding applications & will handle intense multi-tasking needs. Couple that read performance with random writes up to 70, 000 IOPS, max bursts up to 85k IOPs, & sequential writes of 520MB/s, to unleash your applications potential. Target markets include: enthusiasts, gamers, developers, video editing, SMB IT, data center, etc. Customers should transition from the 510 Series, as it will be announced EOL Approx. four weeks after the 520 Series launch. In addition, many 320 Series customers will choose to transition to the 520 Series due to the enhanced performance & the SATA3 (6 Gb/s) interface. ** Features of the Intel 240GB SSD 520 Series**
