Intel Confirms It Will Ship 160GB Flash Drives

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-some-solid-state dept.

Lucas123 writes "Intel has confirmed plans to ship a new line of solid-state drives for laptop and notebook PCs with storage capacities of 80GB to 160GB. While it did not lock in a ship date, Intel told Computerworld that the drives would be available in the second quarter. From the story: 'An aggressive move into the laptop and PC notebook flash disk drive business would catapult Intel into direct competition with hard drive manufacturers such as Toshiba Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. that are trying to spark demand before their SATA-based offerings are released in the coming months.'"

    My PC at home has a combined total of 100 gb hard drive space, including HDa, C:, and D: and I'm nowhere near filling it up yet!

    I could have a computer without a hard drive and it would actually work!

    I wonder what these puppies are going to cost, anyway?
