Further details pertaining to Intel's upcoming 710 and 720 Series SSDs have emerged.

 

 

We last heard that the 710 Series ‘Lyndonville' offerings - utilising SATA 3Gbps connectivity - were heading for launch next month, and it is claimed that maximum sequential read/write speeds will come in at up to 270MB/s and 210MB/s, respectively, with capacities ranging from between 100GB and 300GB.

For the more adventurous, there are the 720 Series ‘Ramsdale' parts - going with a PCIe interface - which will apparently churn out maximum sequential read/write speeds of up to 2,200MB/s and 1,800MB/s, respectively.

So are the 720 series using native PCIe controllers?

Grid is rather missing the 510 as a comparison…

The 710 looks a bit disappointing, the 720 a monster though… why the lack of different nomenclature?

The price will be all the differentiating that you need :p

Now bring out a non-enterprise PCIe SSD please Intel. I went with X58 precisely for this reason :)

Doesn't say which controllers they're using. :\

Pci-e early on in SSD producted, made laughing stock out of sata ssd. upon closer inspection in pci-e standards, pci-e can work within range ov voltage that ssd runs at, about 1.3 volts, while sata is 5 volt to 3.0 volt interface, even with best protection, 1.7 volt is too little, so sata ssd stutters. overvolted. while pci-e runs smooth. pci-e also runs circuits in 3.3 v range & often is listed as such, yet 1.3 is possible in cpu temp memory slots interface. why sata which interfaces those, cann't lower voltage, i don't know, maybe just plain sadistic engineers of sata ssd controllers.
