These new SSD 545 drives from Intel should perform much better than other value SSDs in heaver use situations. Intel has the drive sporting sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and sequential writes of up to 500MB/s. with 4.5 watts average power draw.
Intel plans to ship 545 drives with capacities ranging from 128GB right up to 2TB aoon.
