Marketing description

Intel high performance Solid-State Drives (Intel SSDs) are designed to deliver outstanding performance and reliability. With no moving parts, Intel SSDs offer a quiet storage solution that responds quickly and uses less power. Compared to traditional hard disk drives, Intel SSDs are significantly more responsive, much more reliable, have lower power consumption and are completely quiet.
Intel SSDs are designed and validated specifically for PC applications using Intel's deep knowledge and understanding of PC design.

Key selling points

• Increased responsiveness and performance
• Solid, reliable, silent operation
• Lower power consumption for longer battery life

Product features

• High-performance storage
  Intel Solid-State Drives represent a revolutionary breakthrough that delivers a giant leap in storage performance. Intel Solid-State Drives are designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts. These drives bring a high level of performance and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage, at a fraction of the cost of the previous generation of Intel SSD products.
• Wait less - do more
  Why wait for a traditional hard disk drive to spin up? Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel Solid-State Drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness. And for notebook PCs, the lower power needs of Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs translate to longer battery life and lighter notebooks. Higher performance with more durability means you can be truly mobile with confidence.
• Better by design
  Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, and new industry leading, compute-quality 34nm NAND Flash memory manufacturing processes, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs are designed to deliver outstanding performance. They feature the latest generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND flash memory. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability; meaning Intel drives not only perform better, they last longer.
• Featuring the Intel SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer
  The Intel SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer provides a set of applications to easily manage the health and optimize the performance of your Intel SSD. The Toolbox includes a powerful set of management, information, and diagnostic tools, and is designed to work best with 34nm Intel SSDs. The Intel SSD Optimizer utilizes the new ATA Data Set Management Command (Trim Attribute) to help maintain your SSDs performance at "fresh-out-of-the-box" levels, and is specifically designed to run with Microsoft Windows 7. Intel SSD Optimizer also works with Windows Vista and XP as well.
