According to Intel, the new X25M SATA drives are replacing Intel's existing X25M drives with the same capacity, but at 60 percent lower cost and increased performance. The 80GB X25-M has a price tag of $225 in lots of 1,000 (down from $595), and the 160GB is $440 (down from $945).
The new drives also boast a 25 percent reduction in read latency, which was already about 60 times the speed of an average hard disk in the previous generation; write performance has also doubled with the new SSD’s.
