Next Generation Intel SSDs?

[NovemberWhiskey]

Last time I heard (on this forum) that Intel will be releasing 320Gb SSDs in 2010, but I haven't seen them out yet. I think they were supposed to be out early in the year. Does anyone know when they are releasing them, and how much they will be?

Thanks!

There were rumors that Intel would release one but they obviously didn't. Intel is releasing new SSDs late this year and bigger capacities such as 320GB are expected

If I remember correctly, new 25nm SSDs with larger capacities are due out in Q4 this year.

Intel’s 3rd generation X25-M would be shipping in Q4 at 160GB, 320GB and 600GB. These drives will use IMFT’s new 25nm flash.

Probably around the $1500 mark for a 600GB.

Well, the Sandforce 2000 chip will give the G3 a beating.
G3:
Sequential Read: 250MB/s
Sequential Write:170MB/s
read IOPS: 50K
write IOPS:40K
Security: AES-128

Sandforce 2000:
Sequential Read: 500MB/s
Sequential Write:500MB/s
read IOPS: 60K
write IOPS:60K
Security: AES-256

Just read the Sandforce article, WOW . Talk about fast. Apple needs to implement Sata III 6Gb/s now.

Not up to Apple, up to Intel really.
