Cheap faster new Intel SSD

Last week, Intel unveiled its new solid-state hard drives are cheaper and faster than the SSDs. For example, X25-M SSDs for notebooks and desktop PCs, which are almost two times higher than the recording speed of its predecessors, the Intel.
The new specification is a result of new manufacturing processes, reduce costs and improve software faster write performance.
Troy Winslow, marketing manager for Intel, explains how the new NAND flash memory chips with 34-nanometer process, compared with 50-nm Intel SSDs in the past

“In the 34-nm move our SSDs specifically benefited from the reduction in the flash memory array, and thus reduce the [that] the cost, we reduce the price of SSDs our introductory price of 60 percent for three quarters.”

New Intel 80GB unit 6600 performs operations E / c per second (IOPS), twice the speed of its predecessor. 160-GB version is even faster in 8600 IOPS. The speed of reading, but still similar to the previous version to 35,000 IOPS S.
Andernfalls wird die Einheiten der Leistung gemessen werden kann durch die Prüffolge, dh die Übertragung von einem PC zu booten oder eine große Datei, für diesen Messwert, die Leistung der Einheiten bleibt unverändert.
But Gregory Wong, chief analyst at research company Insight memory, said random output, as the restoration of user data, and changes to applications and documents. it is much better for normal computer.

New multi-unit cell (MLC) SSDs. Intel also offers a number of X25-E SLC (Single level cell) SSDs themselves even more resistance, but they are very expensive. Letter from the new MLC SSDs two times higher than the current Intel SLC-SSDs.

“It’s much harder to accidentally write to the SLC to MLC,” said Wong noted that the new Intel manufacturing process could lead to a further reduction in prices for future models of SSD:

In order to deal with competitors such as Toshiba and Samsung SSDs offers capacity up to 512GB, Intel plans to double the size of the unit for next year.

The development of cheaper, faster and more SSDs can not be easy, as Intel reduces its flash memory, may, in some fundamental problems of physics. With each new manufacturing process, a smaller number of electrons in each memory cell, which leads to increased vulnerability to loss of data, said Wong.

Units can be created using the Tuesdays of-the-art 34-nanometer process, said Wong.

In the X25-M SSDs come in 2.5 inches or 1.8 inches. In the X25-M 80GB SSD costs US $ 225 in quantities of up to 1000 units, while the 160 GB version is $ 440
