Intel Cuts SSD Prices

The SSD market is one of the most fascinating areas to follow right now. Not only do we get faster drives on a very regular basis, but prices are falling very rapidly also, due to the increased competition. Therefore, Intel decided to lower its prices for the M and E series even further:

Model	12/2008	02/2009	04/2009
X25-M 80GB	$595	$390	$320
X25-M 160GB	$945	$765	$630
X25-E 32GB	$575	$415	$390
X25-E 64GB	NA	$795	$795
X18-M 80GB	NA	NA	$340

As you can see in the table above, some price drops are quite considerable and are bringing SSDs a good step closer to the mainstream market. From close to $600 to $320 in just five months for the 80 GB X25-M is nothing short of impressive.
