Intel 34nm SSDs Lower Prices, Raise Performance 195
Vigile writes "When Intel's consumer line of solid state drives were first introduced late in 2008, they impressed reviewers with their performance and reliability. Intel gained a lot of community respect by addressing some performance degradation issues found at PC Perspective by quickly releasing an updated firmware that solved those problems and then some. Now Intel has its second generation of X25-M drives available, designated by a "G2" in the model name. The SSDs are technically very similar though they use 34nm flash rather than the 50nm flash used in the originals and reduced latency times. What is really going to set these new drives apart though, both from the previous Intel offerings and their competition, are the much lower prices allowed by the increased memory density. PC Perspective has posted a full review and breakdown of the new product line that should be available next week."

Getting the prices lower is definitely a move in the right direction. I'm looking forward to moving to SSD in the near future, and not having to worry about hard drive crashes anymore.

Let's make a few predictions based on recent trends:
July 2007: number of wives = 0
July 2009: number of wives = 1
July 2011: number of wives = 2
July 2013: number of wives = 3
July 2015: number of wives = 4
July 2017: number of wives = 5
July 2019: number of wives = 6
July 2021: number of wives = 7
Gosh, I'll need to implement wear levelling soon, too.
Extrapolation: almost as good as copulation.

Protip: Intel's SSDs are also "SATA drives".
Man, you really must be the life of the party. Remind me to invite you to my next one!
