Intel Says Its New SSDs Are Fast And Less Expensive

Intel launches a new solid-state drives, which is cheaper and has to write faster speeds than their predecessors, saying the company on Tuesday.Intel X25-M SSDs to the computer and the desktop computers delivered nearly two times higher than the write to accomplish their predecessors from Intel.The new manufacturing process to keep prices down at the same time, better software is used to speed up SSDs, said Troy Winslow, marketing manager of Intel's NAND products. The flash chips, used in which the units are manufactured using 34-nanometer to 50 nanometer process as compared to previous Intel SSDs.

"The 34-nm move our SSDs in particular benefited from the decline in flash memory, and thereby reduce the [ta] costs," said Winslow. This enables us to reduce our SSDs 60 percent of their IPO price is three-quarters."80 GB disk is twice the write speed of its predecessor, and 6600 I / O operations per second (IOPS). 160 GB version is a great performance to add to 8.600 IOPS, Intel said. Read speeds are roughly the same as the previous versions, however, 35000.

Liberal units in May. The first manufactured using the advanced 34-nanometer process, "said Wong.The X25-M SSDS come in 2.5 inches or 1.8 inches. The X25-M 80GB SSD is the price set in U.S. $ 225 for quantities up to 1,000 units, while the 160 GB version is $ 440.
