Ask an Intel Solid State Drive Engineer

Solid state drives have take a much higher profile in the last year or so, but especially since Intel entered the market with a product that out performs every other SSD we have ever seen. We took a look at the simple device in September of last year and now have moved all of our motherboard testing over to Intel SSDs. The drives are cool, quiet, and extremely fast. On the downside, the drives are extremely expensive for a desktop build coming in around $500 for an 80GB drive. Obviously early adopters will pay the price, but surely we will see prices come down on these SSDs in the future.

I would like to thank Jonathan Schmidt and Intel for giving us this opportunity today. If you have any interest in solid state data drives, this is a must-read! I will now turn things over to Jonathan.
