Intel should launch entry-level SSD models, offering lower price as well as lower performance levels. They will belong to the X25-X series. It will only offer limited storage space, 40 GB, and 170 MB/s in reading mode, and only 32 MB/S in writing mode. The latest value is really low but should partially be compensated by its very high number of operation per seconds, leading to overall performance levels higher than 2.53 plater-based HD.The price remains unknown but should be around 100 €. It will offer higher GUI and application reactivity as well as booting time and an overall improvement when compared to standard 2.5" HD. Of course the storage space will be more than limited, but its power consumption will be around 90 mW and even 60 mW idle.
