Intel SSDs To Hit 160GB

Intel's Z-P140 solid state drive is but a predecessor to superior drives in the future (2008 to be exact). According to Intel's flash memory marketing head Troy Winslow, the chipmakerwill be introducing a series of 1.8" and 2.5" drives which target ultraportable devices sometime later this year. These new lines will see capacities ranging from 80GB to a whopping 160GB, making the latter much larger than the current king-of-the-hill, a 128GB solid state drive. A segment of these new drives will rely on the superior SATA II interface in order to increase the available bandwidth for transferring data, traditionally a weak point for SSDs compared to normal hard drives. There is no word on pricing for this new range of SSDs though, but 2008 is definitely an interesting year where SSD development is concerned.
