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. Details include:

• Use of high performance Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) working group spec flash chips
• Parallel 10 channel architecture for high sustained read/write bandwidth
• Extremely high random access speeds (I/O operations per second or IOPs) that are tuned for typical PC applications and modern operating systems
