IDF SPRING 08: Intel is set to release its own Solid State Drives later this year. Performance looks impressive so far.

And yet no mention of how much of a hole it will put in your wallet.

Lets hope Intel getting into the game will lower the cost.

more supply and more competition is a good thing for us.
Soon time to replace my aging ide drives...

those kinds of details won't come out until the product either launches or is very close to launching.

Nice..just don't be too expensive.

How do you test something to 1500G?

ZERO <ibis> · 3rd Apr 2008, 07:48

You put it in one of those G-Force simulators or launch it to 99% the speed of light

Drop it from about 1m high... It shouldn't be too far of 1500G deceleration when it hits the floor

I would have guessed something like dropping it, I doubt any centrifuge would be able to reach those levels.
