That's why the company promised SATA-II SSDs in the 1.8" and 2.5" sizes with capacities up to 160GB, with read and write speeds exceeding Samsung's 100MB/s and 70MB/s, respectively. Best of all, Intel says its goal is to drive down the currently exorbitant prices of solid-state storage to something less punitive, predicting two subsequent 50% drops in 2009 and 2010.

With a combination of speed, 100 MBps write speed and a 120MBps read speed and lower power consumption, it won't be long before we see these babies popping up in a lot more devices. Unfortunately, prices are still a barrier, and that is not expected to change when Samsung finally announces how much these drives will cost. [Akihabara News via SciFi Tech via Uberreview]
