Intel SSDs Comin’ Up!
Only a day after Imation announced its upcoming SSD drives, another big company announced its formal entry into the SSDs market, and this time we're talking about a real giant - Intel!
In fact, Intel is already present on the solid state drives market, but its offer is limited to single chip SSDs for pocket devices, with capacities of 2GB and 4GB. Anyway, things are about to change in the coming months, with Intel's SSDs for notebooks...
The semiconductors giant confirmed its intention to come up with a line of SSDs for notebooks during Q2 2008. These drives will be available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch sizes, having capacities between 80GB and 160GB.
Unfortunately, no technical detailes have been made public yet, but during a recent meeting, Mooly Eden, Intel's Vice President and General Manager Mobile Platforms Group, said their SSDs will be 10 to 50 times faster than the Seagate Momentus 7200.2 HDD with SATA-300 interface.
Since the above doesn't say much, I guess we'll have to wait for a later time to find some really useful details about Intel's future SSDs performance...
