"An Solid State Drive is still the single best upgrade you can make to your existing Personal Computer, and the new Intel SSD 330 Series gives users the latest Intel Solid State Drive technology at a price to meet their budget," said James Slattery, product line manager for client SSDs, Intel Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group.

Unlike a traditional hard disk drive (HDD) with spinning disks and moveable parts, Solid State Drives offer a more rugged, low-power storage solution that dramatically improves system performance to keep up with today’s I/O-intensive applications. The Intel Solid State Drive 330 Series contains Intel 25-nanometer multi-level cell NAND memory. Its SATA 6Gb/s interface doubles the bandwidth of its current SATA 3Gb/s Intel Solid State Drive 320 Series, providing up to 500 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) sequential read speeds and up to 450MB/s sequential write speeds for faster data transfers. Random read performance can go up to 22,500 Input-Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and 33,000 write IOPS to boost overall application and system responsiveness, significantly outperforming a typical consumer hard disk drive.
