"Intel has generally been mainly known for its central processing units, as its storage products have not exactly been a significant part of the company's marketing plans over the years. Even so, however, the Santa Clara chip maker seems rather aggressive in its development of solid state drives, with one of the more recent advancements in this area being the 25nm NAND developed jointly with Micron. A more recent report suggests that the company will be putting special emphasis on further improving SSDs, with plans even supposedly including 400GB and 600GB models by the end of the year.

 

Intel is supposedly planning on updating its enterprise-class SSD line with what is dubbed the Lyndonville family. These will either complement or replace the existing 32GB and 64GB X25-E SSDs with 100GB, 200GB and 400GB models. This lineup is scheduled for the fourth quarter of the ongoing year and" source

Our Take: No word yet on price which, you know, is probably a good thing for those of you without health insurance and/or a weak heart, sensitive stomach, IBS, or any other disfunctions a sudden shock to the system could disrupt.
