Source : DailytechIf Intel already manufactured SSD, the success was rather low due to the low storage capacity of the offer.
But Intel did not drop the project neither the potential juicy market, and will offer in a near future MLC chips-based SSDs in 1.8" and 2.5" format, with storage space ranging from 80 to 160GB. The goal is to compete with Samsung-branded SSDs, while offering similar performance levels (100MB/s in reading and 70MB/s in writing mode).
Intel expects the price of SSD to drop by 40% this year, and then yearly by 50% in the future. So, SSD should become affordable for consumer electronic market by the end of the decade.
