About This Product
The Intel 310 is a 40GB mSATA SSD, suitable for older systems or as a cache drive. Its mSATA form factor limits compatibility to specific motherboards or laptops. With only 40GB, it is not practical for primary OS installation in modern systems but could accelerate a traditional hard drive in a dual-drive setup. Performance is typical for early SATA SSDs, offering a significant speed upgrade over HDDs but falling short of modern SATA III or NVMe drives.
Verdict
“Only for niche use cases like caching or very old mSATA-compatible systems.”
