After solid state hard drives (SSD) can cost less than 100 dollars (100 USD, ~ 1.9 million) first appeared on the market by selling the OCZ Technology Group, Intel started to provide market devices $ 125 USD (~ 2.4 million) is X25-V .

Intel hopes the new storage devices will be appropriate for the east coast with users even calculated the cost of it is not GB of Flash storage drive higher.Both the X25-V drive cheaper because the store is less than the speed slower. Analysts said that thanks to the appearance SSD drive priced under $ 100, may begin to appear to memory need not dependent on electricity (in this market and virtually no change).
"I feel consumers still enjoy this product equipment manufacturers are only interested in the level" - Michael Young, an analyst with iSuppli said.

X25-V is a solid disk capacity 40GB SSD, designed as a hard disk drive 2.5 ". Intel recommends for storage at basic Netbook or disk storage in addition to desktop in which it can be used for the purpose of speeding up the system and applications.
Recently, OCZ Technology SSD Onyx disc production factory SATA II design is easy to reach. Its 32GB capacity. Like the other solid disc, it is based on multi-layer structure of NAND flash memory. Reading speed, which allows reaching 125MB / s, write speed continuous 70MB / s. Special points of SSD is specifically the greater the capacity rate (productivity) is higher. This is because the SSD using several channels input / output parallel control equipment associated with the drive chip memory. Generally the larger the chip the greater channel.

According to Young, 64GB SSD storage architectures often have eight channels. Micron RealSSD C300 solid disk of 256GB capacity with the largest number of channels in the line universal disc SSD is 16. Previous X25-V, Intel has provided X25-E SSD drive (for the data center) and X18-M, X25-M for notebooks and Netbook. The disc is designed respectively 1.8 and 2.5. X25-M 10-channel architecture, the proposed model for the 80GB and 160GB capacities; read speed 250MB / s write 100MB / s. On the Internet, X25-M is close to selling price 230 USD (~ 4.423 million).

X25 also only 5-V channel input / output in parallel on 10 NAND flash memory chip capacity 4GB. Speed read and write its turn is 170MB / s and 35MB / s. With 4KB packets arranged arbitrarily, it performed Viewed 25,000 input / output in a second time when the record is less than fifty times. Intel also said that time exists until the damage X25-V is 1.2 million hours (~ 136.9 years).

"With the introduction of SSD products to suit most consumers on prices, now has solid disk can be used for both desktop universal storage to accelerate," Young stated.
