Intel Rolls Out 20nm NAND Based 335 SSD Series
Yesterday Intel Corporation started shipping its first solid-state drive (SSD) using 20nm NAND flash memory process, jointly developed by IM Flash Technologies (IMFT). Announced last April, with shipping beginning in December 2011, the 20nm IMFT NAND uses a new, planar cell structure that enables more aggressive cell scaling than conventional architectures by integrating the first Hi-K/metal gate stack on NAND production.
The Intel SSD 335 Series is a 6Gb/s SATA drive that can replace a traditional, slower operating HDD for faster access to files and programs. The Intel SSD 335 comes in a 240GB capacity that performs 500MB/s sequential read and 450MB/s sequential write.
The specifications include:
Also available for Intel SSD purchasers is the Intel SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer, a free utility that provides Microsoft Windows users with a set of management, information and diagnostic tools to help in maintaining the health and out-of-box performance of the drive.
