#2Developers do a lot of 4KB operations. Source files tend to be small as do database updates.
The current market leader in this is the OCZ Vertex 3, a considerably faster drive than the Intel 510. Indeed intel's X25-M is better at 4KB operations than the new drive.
The 510 is a disappointment, get an OCZ Vertex instead, its cheaper and faster for the sorts of operations that matter. See anandtech for more details:

#3This 510 series is not considered a successor to the X-25. If you're wanting a true improvement, hold out for the upcoming 320 series around April.

My only concern with OCZ SSDs are initial quality. Just look Newegg's reviews, there a whole bunch of people who received DOA units or they fail after a month.

#6It's Fast? It seems barely keep up with previous generations Vertex 2 in real-world tests (PCMark), and new Vertex 3 and other SandForces are even faster, and cheaper.
I really wonder why Intel released a drive that's both more expensive and slower than competition. Of course they have strong brand, as X-25 were really successful.

I keep looking, but can't find the Vertex 3 available anywhere. Any news on a release date?

#8I just got the X25 less than a week ago. Now that I've seen the testing on this 510 and the Vertex 3, I'm debating returning the X25 and going for one of these models.
I can preorder the 510 from Amazon for 295, still looking for someone selling the Vertex 3.

#9Hopefully this will drive X-25 prices into the $1/GB range for those of us that think reliable 350/100 MB/s read/write is already blazing fast

#10I would wait for a comparison between the Intel 320 and Micron C400 (which are both imminent) before making any decisions.
