I received a reader tip on this one. I never knew Intel made a 313 SSD series. Here are the specs for this drive: Intel® SSD 313 Series (20GB, 2.5in SATA 3Gb/s, 25nm, SLC) Product Specifications
Key points to note here:
I like the 16GB Kingston M.2 drives, but this is an option if you want a cheap boot drive for something like a mirrored pfSense install or FreeNAS boot drive using 2.5" to keep m.2 open for NVMe.
Key points to note here:
- SATA II only, so I will expect it to be slow.
- These are old drives, Q1 2012 launch date. That should not be taken lightly.
- Intel SLC NAND!!!!!
- Active power rateed at 150mW per specs so these are very low power drives
- They are selling for $20 each
