Intel Replaces Consumer SSD Line, Nixes SLC-SSD 165
Lucas123 writes "Intel today launched a line of consumer solid state drives that replaces the industry's best selling X25-M line. The new 320 series SSD doubles the top capacity over the X25-M drives to 600GB, doubles sequential write speeds, and drops the price as much as 30% or $100 on some models. Intel also revealed its consumer SSDs have been outselling its enterprise-class SSDs in data centers, so it plans to drop its series of single-level cell NAND flash SSDs and create a new series of SSDs based on multi-level cell NAND for servers and storage arrays. Unlike its last SSD launch, which saw Intel use Marvell's controller, the company said it stuck with its own processing technology with this series."

I'm not going to run out and replace my $100 2TB external backup with one of these any time soon.
I am not going to run out and replace my minivan that I use to ferry my four kids and wife with a two seater sports car any time soon!
