 Though it was officially announced in a press release a few weeks ago, it looks like people will finally get to see the real thing tomorrow. Intel will be showcasing their new Z-P140 Solid State Drive platform at the Storage Visions Conference in Las Vegas, January 5th . We also expect Intel realizes CES is in town in a couple of days as well, so we'll expect to see Intel waxing philisophic on the merits of their new storage platform at CES 2008. Initially available in configurations from 2GB to 8GB, Intel expects to have 4GB to 16GB versions of the hardware available by mid year. And though the existing platform currently rides on a PATA interface, adequate for the performance characteristics of the platform currently, Intel will also preview SATA interface versions of the platform. The current penny sized 2GB Drive module supports a burst rate of 40MB/sec, 30MB/sec write speeds and, naturally considering it's flash based, no mechanical latency along with extremely low power requirements (1.1mW idle, 300mW active). All while providing performance characteristics similar to, and in some areas quite superior to existing magnetic storage systems used in mobile devices. This development could better establish Intel as a significant player in the embedded and ultra mobile flash storage market, one currently dominated by Sandisk.
