From our front-page news:
It wasn't even a year ago when Intel joined the SSD fray, but so far their appearance has been impressive. They have now announced their Z-P140 "ultra-small" SSD chip which will be available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models and have promises of read speeds of 40MB/s and write speeds of 30MB/s. For chips this small, those transfer speeds are impressive.
According to Intel, their latest chip weighs less than a drop of water at 0.6g and is smaller than a penny, as seen in the photo below. These latest chips are set out to appear in handheld devices, because clearly they are not small enough already.
