Why wait for a traditional hard disk drive to spin up? Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel solid-state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness. And for laptop PCs, the lower power needs of Intel SSDs translate to longer battery life and lighter notebooks. Higher performance with more durability means you can be truly mobile with confidence. Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, Intel Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives are designed to deliver outstanding performance, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND flash memory. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer.

Features
- Capacity: 80GB
- Read: Up to 250MB/sec
- Write: Up to 70MB/sec
- NAND Flash: Multi-Level Cell (MLC)
- Interface: SATA-II
- Low Power Consumption
- Lightweight (80g)
- Shock Resistant


Price: £214.99 +VAT (£247.24 Inc. VAT)

That first drives a corker, tempted to buy a second to raid with the one I have now... Speeds going to be EPIC :D

Maybe but is the speed really worth the insane amount of money for such a small amount of storage?

Im glad this is just called a lower price and not called cheap :P

Still 10 times over priced.

I doubt they cost much to manufacture, the makers are simply extracting the urine out of consumers because they can. Can't wait for one to man up and show some balls and drop their prices in half, then we'll see these becoming a better option.

Give this to me now!!! =) nice deal we have here

Your probably right and in time one of the manufacturers probably will drop prices. Samsung have sort of with there 64gb series 1 drive. It may only be 90/70 but its still alot faster than a conventional hard disc which is a plus.
