Intel's First SSD Blows Doors Off Competition
theraindog writes "Intel is entering the storage market with an ambitious X25-M solid-state drive capable of 250MB/s sustained reads and 70MB/s writes. The drive is so fast that it employs Native Command Queuing (originally designed to hide mechanical hard drive latency) to compensate for latency the SSD encounters in host systems. But how fast is the drive in the real world? The Tech Report has an in-depth review comparing the X25-M's performance and power consumption with that of the fastest desktop, mobile, and solid-state drives on the market."
My SBDs will blow THEIR doors off.

Those're STDs.
Why? They're almost free at 60 cents each :-P
I suffer from attention surplus disorder.
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Pardon me, but it is "blowing down the doors" (and the house too)
Yes, the write speeds aren't exactly compelling but for IO and read-heavy uses it's completely mindblowing
Great, first the doors, then the house and now your mind...
I guess if there's anything we've learned is this drive really blows.
Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
Probably right next to the dlsyexia tag.
Those're STDs.
It burns when I read/write
The preferred spelling is lysdexia.
