So it seems intel the only ones not releasing 25nm flash based SSDs heres hoping a Vertex 3 with a SATA 6gbs with double the capacity at the same price compared to the vertex 2s 😀.

Competition is always good for consumers.
Nice find dangerman.

that satadimm looks interesting

Am I reading correctly that all the satadimm does is save the space of a disk drive mounting slot and a molex/SATA power connector?

It seems the satadimm only draws power from the DIMM slot. It still needs to be connected externally to a SATA port like a regular drive.

I can't wait for this new line of sandforce products

Yes, it seems that is the case.

Personally, I would like it if they could do what they do for DRAM now, that is have a high performance controller on the motherboard or CPU and have sockets to put in more NAND. Although if they do this, it would really favor Intel and probably stifle competition.
