Intel solid-state drives:
Industry-best performance and reliability

Industry-best Intel solid-state drives (SSDs) are more than 75 times faster than desktop hard drives for I/O operations per second.

Intel SSDs eliminate the hard-drive bottleneck that throttles Windows virtual memory and multitasking. For real-world performance and snappy system response even under heavy load, Intel SSDs have more impact than faster CPUs. See random I/O performance test below, comparing SSD vs hard drive.

Intel SSDs are also highly reliable. Digital Tigers was the first computer company to standardize on Intel SSDs (May 2009), and we have never encountered an Intel SSD failure, in two years of building and supporting customer systems with Intel SSDs. Industry studies confirm Intel SSD reliability compared to other SSD brands (below).
