Product Information

Quickly retrieve data and reduce boot-up times in computers with the Intel 320 Series 160GB Internal SSD. Manufactured by the Intel Corporation, this solid-state drive (SSD) is optimal for improving system performance. It’s equipped with a range of advanced specifications designed to facilitate rapid read-and-write sequences. It also actively works to secure data against corruption, power loss, and system failures with a plethora of integrated technologies. Combined with a CPU, this unit can reduce delays in processing information and increase productivity. Computer users seeking responsiveness and sufficient storage for their operations need look no further than the Intel 320 Series SSD.The Intel 320 Series SSD is a 2.5-inch form factor drive that can be used in laptops and desktop systems. The dimensions of the product also enable it to be used for server applications. Its compact size makes it a viable choice for businesses. It employs a SATA 3.0 3Gb/s interface for bus communication with compatible hardware. To quickly read and write data, the Intel 320 Series SSD utilizes Intel NAND Flash Memory and a 25nm microarchitecture. It’s a multilevel cell (MLC) device with 10 parallel flash channels. This design allows for an expansive amount of storage for files that can be retrieved rapidly at any given time. An impressive latency rate of under 90 microseconds means that there’s no discernible delay when navigating files. Unlike a hard disk drive (HDD), SSD NAND technology requires no moving parts to function.It electronically retrieves data at a sustained sequential read rate of up to 270 MB/s. Sequential write operations can run up to 165 MB/s. The unit has a designated random read rate of 39,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS). The random write rate runs up to 21,000 IOPS. Ordered and non-ordered data retrieval operations are efficient and responsive. Durable and long-lasting, the unit can continue to operate far into the future. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is designated as 1,200,000 hours, or about 137 years. Furthermore, there’s plenty of storage capacity in these SSDs. They provide users with 160GB of space for a multitude of large files and applications. The Intel 320 can be used to host an operating system like Windows 7 for a rapid boot sequence. This means users won’t have to sit around waiting for the computer to load when they turn it on.The drives are also capable of engaging in multitasking when users must do several things simultaneously. Native Command Queuing enables the units to process up to 32 operations at once. This capability is essential for preventing delays from bottlenecking. It also allows the SSD to take advantage of the benefits of parallel processing. This increases the speed of read-and-write operations even further. For security purposes, the Intel 320 features AES 128-bit Encryption software. With this cryptographic technology, users can secure the SSD’s information and prevent unauthorized access. The solid-state device offers professionals and businesses the shield that they need to protect their important data from harm. In addition, the drive consumes power efficiently. When idle, it typically consumes just 100mW of power. This increases to 150mW when active. To further protect data, the unit is also equipped with File Write Protection for power loss scenarios. It utilizes a power reserve to back up data before forced shutdown. Users can rest assured that a power loss won’t translate to data loss.
