Default [TH] Full Speed Ahead for Intel SSD's
Quote:
Intel held a media briefing today regarding its solid state drive (SSD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive ) business, outlining speed, size, OEM partnerships, and some tasty benchmark numbers. SSD product line manager Kishore Rao, got the ball rolling by outlining the two types of SSDs Intel would be releasing in the coming months. Intel will be releasing six drives total, two under the Extreme SATA SSD line, and four under the Mainstream SATA SSD name. The Extreme drives will initially come in only the 2.5-inch size, with 32-and-64 GB flavors. The Mainstream drives will be available in the 2.5-inch form factor as well, but will also come in the 1.8-inch size, allowing all those netbooks and ultraportables the kids are crazy about these days to utilize solid state speed without a huge sacrifice on size. Both sizes will come in 80 GB and 160 GB varieties.
get ready poeple...

Hmm. I can see it eliminating long load times or at least easing the bottleneck. Cool stuff either way.

Having cutting edge technology allows you to accelerate time. Duh.

not to mention this only show read speed of the disks.

In terms of writing the SSDs strongly fall back.
**One solution to this is a SATA Controller with huge DDR2 cache which makes the SSD platform even more expansive**

The SSDs are impressive for sure, but what does the small text say? (the asterisk?)

That's right we need some REAL benches.
