Intel X25-M G2 hits <$100: Kingston 40Gb V Series
@ 2009/10/26Kingston today announced the release of the SSDNow V Series 40GB Boot Drive, the latest addition to its V (Value) family of solid-state drives (SSD). The Kingston SSDNow V Series 40GB Boot Drive is said to be one of the best and most cost-effective ways to accelerate any desktop’s boot, shutdown and application load times. The best price of the drive is that it is available for as low as $84.99 after rebates (U.S. only) at e-tailer Newegg.com when it begins shipping on November 9, 2009.
Any potential 320GB X25 would be $850-875, just crunch the cost per GB for the 80 and 160 models.
The G3 drives should be even better, those at least should come with SATA 6Gb/s support and another notch downward in NAND cost...
