Intel Unveils New 120GB SSD

Intel is making SSD buyers very happy by cutting the price on their existing line of SSDs as well as introducing a new 120GB model. Troy Winslow, Director of Product Marketing for the Intel NAND Solutions Group commented, "Every Christmas, consumers are looking for the latest tech gadget; this year, with prices dropping, the solid-state drive is becoming more mainstream and can make the single greatest improvement to PC performance. With an SSD, tech shoppers can give the gift of a technology makeover that will help speed up, or breathe new life, into a current PC by just swapping out the hard drive for an SSD.”

Intel offers SSD’s in 1.8 inch as well as 2.5 inch form factors and the pricing for the entire range is given below.

The 160GB will retail for $415, 80GB for $199, 40GB for $99, while the new 120GB model will retail at $249. SSD’s are definitely the way of the future when it comes to Data Storage. Even notebook manufacturers are now looking towards SSDs to provide better performance, but at the same time give their notebooks a much more svelte look.
