The present solid-state disk Intel series X25- E, oriented to the corporate segment, use faster in comparison with MLC memory SLC type, but SSD on the base of the latter do not differ in terms of large volume or low price, which holds in control an increase in their popularity. Meanwhile as it is possible to be convinced based on the example of OCZ company, real SLC alternative becomes eMLC memory, which possesses the increased resource and acceptable cost.
Rumors about the intentions of Intel company to forego the use of SLC memory with the production of solid-state disk corporate class is already available. Thus, in the first quarter 2011 Intel will present the solid-state disk lyndonville series, which will be based on 25 nm memory eMLC type, which possesses several times higher resource in the number of rerecording cycles in comparison with MLC memory. In the series X25- E will be released SSD with 100 Gb, 200 Gb and 400 Gb volume.
In the segment of form factor 1.8 the new 25 nm MLC memory will appear in the fourth quarter in the form of SSD with 80 Gb volume.
It is important to note that Intel forewent the plans with respect to the production of SSD model with 80 Gb volume in the budgetary series X25- V. Instead of this in the first quarter 2011 will appear the model with 40 Gb volume on base of 25 nm MLC memory.
