With Intel being with one of the few companies going with the Solid state drives, and being a new technology, and with no companies not accepting the SSD, We will now see Intel going to the storage solutions, with the success of Intel Core 2 Duo and the anticipating the new Intel Core 7i, why would they go one further with the storage market with all of the district being dominated by large mechanical and electrostatic devices that can go up to 1.5TB in space and still in a reasonable prize of about $200 up front.
With Intel X25-M SSD is a 2.5in, about the size of a fully working HDD’s laptop drive, so it is that small enough even to upgrade your laptop storage to a much faster alternative drive. With Intel’s new type of NAND Flash for the operation of writing and erasing structure any flash drive and also the SSD is made out of the 50nm fabricating process and allows 80Gb’s of memory placed in the form factor. This looks small for those large one terabyte Hard-drives, be sure than SSD is just in its infancy and still new to use, with some problems like the read and write cycle limit with some flash-drives or SSD can be written in as many as 100,000 times until it wears out. While Hard-drives doesn’t have that such a problem writing as many times as it can but still having a problem on having a electrical status problem to looks out but overall the HDD’s interface looks more of a storage power house rather than performance rank, but with the likes for any or a single make of a SSD card going up to the 500Gb mark on storage, will definitely have some performance slowdowns.
But the SSD card are not bad for a start, the fastest read and writes all round and also the lowest latency by 0.1ms and a constant 228.3Mb/s twice as fast as the Western digital Velociraptor, with the double the speed as the western Digital extreme edition, the loading times of the OS and games are slashed by Half the time it takes the Western. With no heat produced and no moving parts in the SSD card, makes it a cool drive, but when reached in a very hot temp, it is still stable enough when reading and random seeking and shock tolerant.
With blistering speed and beating every HDD offering, runs cool, strong enough to handle everyday shocks, can be a great alternative to the conventional HDD. But the price of $595 for an 80 GB drive, is a not a good buy, but for a good reason to buy it is solemnly on its speed. With a SATA connection and also not to say a power hungry drive, you may still go to a HDD for its low price and lower power consumption; we will just have to wait until the technology grows.
HI THERE SENCE I HAVE HAD BAD LUCK WITH HARD DRIVE FAILUERS I AM ONLY BUYING A SSD YOU ARE RIGHT ONLY APPLE DELL ALIEN WARE HP AND SONY WHY HAS NO ONE COME OUT WITH A SSD GAMING CONSOLE OR LIKE SUMSUNG SSD CAMCORDER
well, the problem of having a gaming SDD drives is that, it is way to expensive and people have a tendency of having cheaper drives to compensate those expensive graphics card and other major components in the system. it is a great move but have to compensate with much cheaper hardware.
