Intel's 510 Series solid-state drive

The 510 Series' quick copy performance paid huge dividends with at least one of our multitasking workloads, and the drive was pretty competitive with the rest. However, it's clear that Intel's optimizations have cost the 510 Series in other areas. Random reads were a little slow with small transfer sizes, and the drive's IOMeter transaction rates failed to impress with workloads that mix read and write operations. The 510 Series fared far better with IOMeter's web server access pattern, which is made up exclusively of read operations.
