news 28 Posted September 8, 2008 Intel has been making waves about an entry into the solid state hard drive market for several months and today splashdown occurs. The new X25-M 80GB SSD is an incredibly fast, yet still obnoxiously priced, piece of hardware that every enthusiast will pine for. Come see how Intel plans to dominate the storage market in the coming years.

The benefits of solid state drives, including incredibly low random access times and consistent random and sequential read speeds, are all apparent with Intel's drives but in many areas the performance of the X25-M was well above even our previously tested SSDs. Anything that involved reads from the drive, such as burst rates and sustained read tests, saw a big performance advantage for Intel."
