Intel High Performance SSDs to be Part of Centrino 2

Intel is planning to launch the High Performance SSD solid state drive products by the end of the third quarter this year. The chip maker will bundle the SSDs as a part of its upcoming Centrino 2 “Montevina” laptop platform, DigiTimes’ sources at PC makers say.

The first Intel High Performance SSDs will feature 80GB of storage space and SATA interface and will come in two versions: Client X25-M with 2.5-inch form factor and 1.8-inch Client X18-M.

The company plans to increase storage capacities up to 160GB by the end of the Q4, and to 250GB and above in 2009, according to the report.
