Intel SSDSA2VP020G201 Internal Solid State Drive Data Storage

Want Solid-State Drive (SSD)-like storage performance, with Hard Disk Drive (HDD) capacity, at a lower cost than a large SSD? Combine an Intel® Solid-State Drive 311 Series optimized for Intel® Smart Response Technology and a HDD for a simple way to accelerate storage performance. An innovative and cost-effective caching solution!

Responsiveness.
Intel® Smart Response Technology—enabled by systems utilizing the Intel® Z68 Express Chipset with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) version 10.5 and 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors—seamlessly combines responsiveness similar to a high-performance SSD with the capacity and low cost of a hard drive. The two technologies (SSD and HDD) appear as a single C:\ driver letter that provides you with the familiar storage identifier.

The system automatically learns which files you access frequently and then copies them from the HDD to the SSD. The next time you request these files, the system loads them from the fast SSD rather than the slower hard drive. For infrequently-used files, the system loads them from the hard drive when you need them. Systems boot fast, applications load fast, and the system feels snappy, like an SSD.

Performance and endurance.
The Intel® SSD 311 Series utilizes Intel 34nm Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND to offer high performance and longer endurance over Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND, which is typically used in other SSDs. Changing the NAND components from MLC to SLC increases the performance and longevity of Intel® Smart Response Technology.

Flexibility to meet your needs.
Accelerate storage performance using Intel® SSD 311 Series 2.5 inch or mSATA form-factors. The 2.5” form factor Intel SSD 311 Series can be added to an Intel® Z68 Express Chipset desktop system by using one of the multiple standard hard drive bays.

For Small Form-Factor (SFF) and All-In-One (AOI) systems, the mSATA Intel SSD 311 Series saves space by mounting the device on the motherboard instead of utilizing a hard drive bay. The mSATA form factor is up to eight (8) times smaller than a 2.5” hard drive, and weighs less than 10 grams. Small systems can come alive too!
