Intel dominates the market for years now SSD drive, thanks to the Intel X25 models that offer good value for money. The next generation, called Lyndonville, promises performance and technology.

The Santa Clara company should push the accelerator on the segment of the solid state drives by 2011 with the introduction of its new generation of SSD X25, baptized Lyndonville. In the first quarter of 2011, Intel should then launch a new family of solid state hard drive, Intel X25 Next Generation, codenamed Lyndonville. Intel SSD X25 Lyndonville range in question will be offered in three versions: 100GB, 200GB and 400GB.
Unlike the current SSD X25-E drive based on NAND flash memory SLC (Single Level Cell) with 50nm manufacturing process, the new Intel SSD X25 Lyndonville will be characterized by a production process twice as thin and integrate 25nm flash memory NAND MLC (Multi Level Cell). Lyndonville SSD hard drives are expected very high performance, even if we do not know when the data transfer rate for reading and writing.
Anyway, we hope that Intel’s SSD X25 drives are equipped with SATA III 6 Gb/s. Perhaps taking advantage of future IDF, which will be held right next tomorrow and Wednesday in Beijing, Intel probably will reveal some more details on future SSDs Lyndonville to 25nm.
