Intel® Solid-State Drive 510 Series
Introduction to SSDsIntel® Solid-State Drives (Intel® SSDs) represent a revolutionary performance leap in storage technology. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), Intel SSDs have no moving parts, offering a quiet, cool and highly rugged storage solution. Intel SSDs:
- Provide up to 56% faster¹ PC responsiveness compared to hard disk drives
- Are more reliable and longer-lasting than traditional HDDs
- Can withstand bumps and shocks without losing precious data
- Offer faster system boot-up
- Conserve power so laptop users can stay mobile longer
- Require no training after installation
Target audience for the Intel® Solid-State Drive 510 Series
This training focuses on Intel's top-performing SSD storage solution, the Intel® Solid-State Drive 510 Series. Whether specified for new custom builds or purchased as upgrades to existing systems, the primary audience for the Intel SSD 510 Series includes:
- Gamers looking for every winning edge
- Performance enthusiasts who demand the most from their systems
- Workstation users needing maximum productivity
- CAD engineers
- Digital media content creators
- Road warriors and other mobile professionals
Marketing for the Intel SSD 510 Series is built around the tagline: Launch Fast. Land safe. When possible, recommend this product as the logical go-with to derive the greatest benefit from new systems featuring the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family: "Get visibly smart performance and twice the storage interface bandwidth of a traditional hard drive."
Available in either a 120GB or 250GB storage capacity, the Intel SSD 510 Series is the ideal fit for an audience that places a premium on uncompromising performance and reliability. Point out to your end-user customers these advantages:
56% performance boost over hard disk drives
The key advantage: the Intel SSD 510 Series makes desktops, workstations, and notebooks come alive. This accelerated storage solution transfers more data in less time, expediting storage I/O to unleash greater system performance.
The Intel SSD 510 Series builds on decades of advances in memory engineering and compute-quality Intel® NAND Flash memory manufacturing. These SSDs feature the latest-generation SATA 6Gb/s interface, and their advanced architecture employs eight parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level-cell Intel NAND Flash memory.
The result: exceptional throughput that dramatically outperforms traditional HDDs. It gets better — the Intel SSD 510 Series outperforms two SATA 6Gb/s 10,000 rpm hard disk drives in a RAID configuration.2
High-end game and workstation systems benefit from increased storage performance over mechanical hard drive configurations. Mobile workstations now experience higher performance, as well as Intel SSD ruggedness and power savings over dual-bay HDDs in a RAID configuration.
Up to 1.2 million MTBR of solid-state reliability
Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel SSDs have no moving parts to wear out, heat up or react to bumps or movement. The result: a highly rugged storage solution that is unaffected by intense game play — especially valuable to laptop users to prevent data loss from accidental bumps and drops.
Greater responsiveness
The Intel SSD 510 Series dramatically accelerates system and application performance with sequential read speeds up to 500MB/s and sequential write up to 315MB/s. With twice the storage interface bandwidth of traditional HDDs, everything's faster: boot time, application launches, file loads, sleep recovery, and benchmarks — especially valuable for productivity-focused professional when every minute counts.
Less power usage
Solid-state drives run cooler, quieter, and with less energy consumption: no moving parts require less electricity to power and cool the system — a plus for energy-conscious work environments and mobile users who need to extend battery life.
Positioning against competing SSD brands
Point out these key advantages of Intel Solid-State Drives:
- According to third-party reports4, Intel SSDs have vastly fewer failure rates than competing products from Kingston, Crucial, OCZ and Corsair. Message: Intel SSDs = greater reliability.
- Unlike other solid-state drives, the Intel SSD 510 Series' Secure Erase feature enables a drive to be truly wiped clean once decommissioned for greater security. Only Intel's Secure Erase feature eliminates not just the user data section of the drive but also its reserve data area, rendering data remnants virtually unrecoverable.
- Intel® Data Migration Software simplifies installation so that operating system (OS) and files from an existing drive can be cloned to the new SSD. This free software supports Microsoft Windows* 7, Vista*, and XP and can be downloaded at www.intel.com/go/ssdinstallation
- For customers who love to tweak system settings, the Intel® SSD Toolbox with Intel® SSD Optimizer provides a powerful set of management, information, and diagnostic tools. Inform them they can download the free toolbox at www.intel.com/go/ssdtoolbox
