Intel's new X25-E Extreme SSD blows the competition away
Intel has unveiled a new solid state drive (SSD) in the form of the X25-E Extreme, which is even faster than the X25-M which was released in September. The folks over at the Tech Report got their hands on an engineering sample, where they wrote, "This is without a doubt the fastest solid-state drive we've ever tested." Due to the performance of its single-level cell (SLC) memory chips, the 32GB X25-E Extreme SSD is perfectly suited for the enterprise environment at which it's targeted at. However, the drive doesn't come cheap at $719, which works out to $22 per gigabyte. Still, nothing else beats this device if you are looking for the absolutely fastest drive. Other than Intel, companies such as Seagate, Samsung and SanDisk are scrambling to manufacture and flood the market with high-performance SSDs.
