The Inquirer reports that Intel has just announced it will be slashing the prices on most of its state of the art solid-state drives. The Intel X25-M 80GB for notebooks will drop from $595 to $390 whilst the server X25-E 32GB SSD will go from $695 all the way down to $415 for quantities up to 1,000. The story continues to claim that Intel's X25-M 160GB and X25-E 64GB drives will also have their prices down, but Intel is not saying by exactly how much yet.

Down $200 bucks? Thank you! We'll finally start seeing reasonable prices on these...
Not bad. Savings are huge considering few servers would have one drive. Even if you only had four of them, you just saved over $1000 vs someone who bought them yesterday.
That's a nice drop!! It will be great if it happened with graphics cards!!! Seeing a 4870x2 at $200....
WOW. Now we are talking!
And the first time "slash" really means slash!
OK, it's time for TPU to start benchmarking the Intel SSDs! I'm up for one.

Man...time to buy me some Intel SSD's!
nice starting to come into the affordable range
"server X25-E 32GB SSD will go from $695 all the way down to $415 for quantities up to 1,000"
I suppose thats US $ damn cnd dollar dropped with crude prices :(
expensive 32 gigs, good for OS though, I wonder if that model has a 5 yr warranty???

by: lemonadesodaI think i will await another price drop. These new prices are relatively great, but just a little too high for the intended purpose i have for these little beasts.

I would appreciate some hardcore benchmarks and reviews of their entire lineup to help guide me in future . . . . As TPU always seems to do :)
