Intel Slashes X18-M and X25-M SSD Prices
 

Intel on Thursday, adjusted the prices of its 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch solid-state drives, bringing them closer to the mass market. Top of the line 160 GB Intel branded SSDs are now selling for as low as $630, the 1.8-inch 80 GB X18-M model is now dropping down to $320. The 2.5-inch X25-M 80 GB version is also going down from $390 to $340. Last but not least, the "little" 32 GB X25-E solid-state drive drops from $410 to $390. All prices are in US dollars. Newegg is already selling some of the drives with their new prices.

why is the 2.5 inch more expensive? Better performance? I figured the smaller ones would be more expensive.

Glad to see prices coming down so soon and so much.

again? cant complain iyah

Thats because 2.5 hold more flash hardware for more storage and/or performance. I find the 1.8s better for persoanl storage and power consumption:)

In everyday terms we are talking between 5% and 12% price reductions. Not exactly slashing but welcome nontheless.

Yeah, Still needs to be lower, tho. :(

yay! more drops:D
