In this first test the Intel 520 Series 240GB drive consistently delivers performance numbers that are on par with the balance of the Sandforce 2281 equipped drives in this comparison. In many of the tests it is the second highest performer. Not a bad start for this drive. It shows that Intel delivered a drive that is on target.
