Under the codename "Postville" Intel was developing the second
generation of their already successful X25-SSD-Series. Now Intel ships
the X25-m with 34 nm NAND Flash. The advantages a shrink comes with
are quite predictable: lower manufacturing costs per Gigabyte, lower
power consumption and a higher storage density. Furthermore Intel also
overworked the firmware and therefore we can expect a bit more
performance and hopefully the drive won't be affected by filling it up
to 100 percent of its capacity.
