Intel 510 Series 120GB SSD Review

We use Futuremark’s PCMark Vantage in many of our system reviews and we felt that it was worth an inclusion in this review. It is still a synthetic suite, but it uses many real world characteristics to try and judge overall performance levels. We are using the 64 bit version of the HDD Suite for this testing. We also compare against a Samsung F1 1TB drive on this page.

A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security. From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.

The OCZ Vertex 2 is clearly out in front with the PC Mark Vantage suite, showing the most consistent all round results. The Intel 510 120gb is slightly disappointing with only the ‘application loading' test scoring ahead of the Crucial C300 64gb drive.
