Intel 311 Larson Creek 20GB SLC SSD Review

Intel 311 Larson Creek Features

Key Points SRT From Intel Engineering on SRTs Benefits Over Dual Drives:

• SRT can provide performance gains across the entire hard drive capacity no matter how big the hard drive
• SRT maintains a single drive letter. User only has to manage a C: drive
• SRT can use an SSD as small as 20GB SLC and provide optimum performance/cost benefit
• SRT can also provide SSD-like performance gains caching a RAID array of hard disks
  • Solve RAID 5 slowness without sacrificing an additional disk for RAID 10
• SRT also saves power due to opportunistic spin-down of the hard disk
