About This Product
The Intel 320 Series 160GB is a 2.5-inch SATA II SSD. It offers a significant speed upgrade over traditional hard drives for older systems. However, its SATA II interface limits peak performance compared to modern SATA III or NVMe drives, making it suitable for basic system responsiveness rather than demanding applications.
Verdict
“Only for upgrading very old systems where SATA II is the only option.”
