Intel drops price on SSD
Virtually none of our clients have yet even heard of SSD, but all of you soon will, as Intel moves to slash pricing on the new technology by over 50%.
SSD’s are a new type of hard drive that use ram chips rather than a spinning magnetic disc to store your data. They are fantastic for laptops because they use much less power and are normally much quicker than convential drives.
The big drawback has been the price, with current 80 Gig drives costing as much as $699 (compared with conventional drives at around $100).
We’re in the process of tracking down more information about the new models and when we have pricing, we’ll be able to see if they are now a real possibility, or still too expensive for the mainstream to consider.
