With a storage capacity of 80 GB and 160. The new solid state drives from Intel are a trend on its predecessors. Manufactured with 34 nanometer technology, the units SSD X25-M and X18-M allow for greater storage density. At the same time, reduce their manufacturing costs. Something that is particularly strong in its final selling price.
The X25-M and X18-M retained only the name of the old models which take over. Both measures of 2.5 and 1.8 inches. As it expresses its own nomenclature.
Incorporate SATA interfaces that connect the computer memory with ten parallel channels. Thus, access to information is much faster. According to Intel, the new SSD based on NAND memories provide a reduction in latency by 25%, which is 85 microseconds. So that access is the fastest to date.
Similarly, the random write speed of data in the device memory has also increased. Until double in both models. All these data suggest that the X25-M and X18-M reaches a data transfer rate of up to 250 sustained MB / s read and up to 70MB / s writing. For now, Intel has only provided the price of the X18-M amounting to $ 225 (158 euros). It is envisaged that both SSD drives coming to market in the coming days.
