Intel Released Intel® X18-M and X25-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives (SSDs) based on multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology for laptop and desktop computers. The X18-M is a 1.8-inch drive and the X25-M a 2.5-inch drive. SSD increases overall system performance and faster booting. Since SSDs are like flash drive it has got no moving parts or motors like in Hard Disks, SSD  run cooler and less noise. And also Hard Disk limit the input/output data speed because of it mechanical limitations, but in SSDs there is no mechanical parts so speeds of data transmission has got no boundary, to maximaize the efficency of your processor. Lab tests show that the Intel X18-M and X25M increase storage system performance nine times over traditional hard disk drive performance.

The Intel X18-M and X25-M Mainstream SATA SSDs are available in 80 gigabyte (GB) capacities, with 160GB versions sampling in the fourth quarter of this year. The 80GB drive achieves up to 250MB per second read speeds, up to 70MB per second write speeds and 85-microsecond read latency for fast performance.

There is no idea about the cost of this product in India. Anyhow it won’t be cheaper at the crawling age. Lets wait for the arrival of SSD.
