Intel SSD 710 Prices Leaked

@ 2011/08/08
The prices for Chipzilla's latest line of solid-state drives the SSD 710 series, which are replacing the X25-E SSD series have been leaked.

The new SSDs, which should be around in a couple of weeks, slash the cost-per-gigabyte by 40-odd percent over the X25-E. The 100GB version will cost around $650, the 200GB model will cost roughly $1,250, and the 300GB flavor will be priced at approximately $1,900. It looks like Intel is targetting them towards the enterprise users, rather than the consumer market.

but many consumer SSDs can do better than that for the same price.
performance is one part of the equation, reliability and warranty another

Consumer motherboards are more performant than server boards, but you don't see servers running them
