Thread: Intel makes its SSD 50 nm

Intel announced the end of life of its first generation of SSDs, the X25-M and X18-M using memory in 50 nm. Last orders for the G1 SSD 80 GB or 160 will be accepted April 20, 2010, and honored on 07 August of that year.

Meanwhile, production of 34 nm Flash by IM Flash will now be sufficient to meet demand, even taking into account future X25-M 320GB Despite their performance, the G1 will be regretted by anyone since they do not have a compatible firmware TRIM. Note that the 50 nm Flash memory is not abandoned, Intel continues to use it for its professional SSD X25-E.
