The 335 Series SSDs sport a 6Gbps SATA interface paired with a SandForce SF-2281 controller using custom Intel firmware. The new line kicks off with a single 240GB model capable of up to 500MB/s sequential reads and up to 450MB/s sequential writes, along with 4KB reads up to 42,000 IOPS and writes up to 52,000 IOPS. Intel's intent with the 335 Series is to blend "cutting-edge performance and Intel quality at a consumer friendly price,"
the chip maker said.
