Today the SSD market is not that big. Many consumers aren't willing to spend the significant price premium over a standard hard drive to get the benefits of an SSD. Some businesses, however, realize the potential of the SSD in an enterprise computing environment.

Expreview reports that it has an Intel roadmap that shows that three new SSDs are going to be unveiled by Intel. The SSDs will be in the X-series and are said to have a read speed of 240MB per second and write speed of 170MB per second. The SSDs will come in 2.5-inch (X25) and 1.8-inch (X18) form factors and will come in two models -- E and M. The E model is reported to be the top-of-the-line product with the highest performance, while the M model is configured for power savings.
