CNET Review
The Good: The 2.5-inch Intel 520 Series SSD supports SATA 3 (6Gbps) and offers great performance. The drive is housed in an all-aluminum casing and comes with all you need to use it as a hard-drive replacement for a laptop (ultraportable or standard) or a desktop computer.
The Bad: The Intel 520 Series SSD is comparatively expensive and its low-profile screws are not included.
The Bottom Line: If priced a little lower, the Intel 520 Series SSD would be an ideal investment for those who want to greatly improve their computer's overall performance. For now, it's still an excellent drive.
Price Range: $80.00 - $325.00
