Intel recently launched the new successor to the 50nm SSD, the X25-M 34nm. The main differences between the two small SSDs is the fact that the 34nm is more efficient and affordable, which makes it a more attractive option for laptop and computer manufacturers.

The X25-M is set to be available in two different models, an 80GB as well as a 160GB model. It also offers a 25% reduction in latency, which basically means it can access the information and data stored on it faster than the previous model. In terms of pricing, the 80GB model will be available for $225, which is 60% cheaper than the previous 50nm model which sold for $595. The 160GB model is set to sell for $440, which is a lot cheaper than the $945 the older model sold for. As the model name indicates, it will be available in a 2.5 inch form factor. However, Intel plans to release a 1.8 inch form factor within the quarter.
