| 2010-06-28 |
Talk about going mainstream. Intel is taking its solid-state drives (SSDs) to retail chain Best Buy and BestBuy.com. The drives are being touted for their performance improving capabilities and are being marketed to those buying new PCs as well as those looking to upgrade their existing computers.
Taking its solid-state drives to the masses, Intel is making its devices available through 800 U.S. Best Buy stores and the online BestBuy.com site, pitching them as a replacement for existing hard drives in laptop and desktop computers or a complement to them.
Priced at $130 to $230 depending on capacity, Intel says the drives can help make either new or existing PCs considerably faster.
SSD drives are faster because they have no moving parts, unlike hard disk drives. For that reason they also are more reliable and consume less power. Intel said the drives can provide up to a 56 percent improvement in system performance.
