Intel announces third-generation SSD: 320 Series

Intel has launched the much-anticipated follow up to its popular X25-M solid-state drive. The new 320 Series is the first of the company's drives to use 25nm MLC NAND chips, and the smaller process size has also enabled capacities up to 600GB. Performance is up as well:

These are still way too expensive for how much space I need. My 1TB hard drive is down to 65gigs :(

SSD for boot drive, keep normal HDD's for all the porn filling up your 1TB down to 65gb.

If you own an SSD, no real reason to upgrade. Mechanical --> SSD is the only real jump you'll notice.

iamgoatman5525d ago

Like fanboypunisher said, having an small SSD for a boot drive is the best idea as the larger capacity drives are still ridiculously expensive. For the same price as a 80GB SSD you can pick up a 3TB standard drive, so you're going to be paying a heavy premium for the speed an SSD offers, but only using a small capacity one for the OS will speed up your PC quite a bit without destroying your wallet.

Eh. My PC is fast enough, it's not really worth it. I'll spend my money on another 1TB mechanical drive. And just to clarify, it's a shit ton of music, movies and games that's taking up the space. Who the hell downloads porn anymore?

iamgoatman5525d ago

Well yeah, get a large standard HDD them, it's a no brainer. I wasn't saying you should get one, just offering an alternative solution to get a performance boost without braking the bank.

And to answer your last question, I'm sure a hell of a lot of people still download porn, this IS the Internet after all.

G3 drives are a disappointment, those with the smaller capacities (40, 80GB) at least.

This. read the spec of that thing!
Awfully expensive as of now, but PCI-E SSD's are so freakin hot.
I would buy one of those, then add a HDD for everything but Music, games, programs and OS.
Maybe, like 2-4 years from now those might be affordable for most people.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
