Testing conducted by Apple in October 2012 using preproduction 2.3GHz. Apple 11 13 Macbook Air Mid 2012 Flash Drive Storage 256GB SSD A1465. MLC-enabled, high-capacity (up to 800GB) solid state drive that delivers the. "The Intel SSD 910 Series is a complete solution that delivers on all fronts highperformance, endurance and reliability making it ideal for replacing I/O-intensive HDDs," said Roger Peene, director of data centre SSD marketing for the Intel non-volatile memory solutions group. DELL 9F3GY 800gb Mlc Sata 6gbps 2.5inch Class Solid State Drive Poweredge Server. Other performance figures released by Intel said the 910 series could achieve 2Gbps sequential reads and 1GBps sequential writes, along with 180,000 4K random read IOPS and 75,000 random write IOPS. Hard drives are like processors and other electronic components - their capacity doubles approximately every two years. Intel claims one of the 910 series could replace "multiple" 15,000 rpm hard disk drives (HDDs), which means savings in cost for both space and power consumption. Upgrading the hard drive is a cost-effective way to increase your storage space and speed up your MacBook Pro, especially if you purchase a solid-state drive.
This equates to the multi-level cell (MLC) 25nm NAND flash memory of the SSD being able to handle up to 10 full drive writes every day for five years, according to the firm.īeing PCIe-based enables the SSDs to be plugged into servers or storage with little disruption and without the need for new or customised hardware in the datacentre. Using its internally developed High Endurance Technology, Intel claims it can improve the lifetime of an SSD, which often loses performance as more writes occur, by 30 per cent.
