Intel’s 520 SSD aka Cherryville is the latest rendition of consumer SSD. With their previous 510 Series they relied upon Marvell for their controller but with the 520 Series Intel has switched to SandForce in a bid to deliver amazing performance, better efficiency and reliability.
Intel claim this is their fastest SSD solution yet, combining the speed of the popular SF-2281 controller used in many popular SSDs and Intel’s very own 25nm NAND flash.
