Intel shrinks its solid-state drives, aims for tablets

Intel's new solid-state drive 525 packs performance identical to a standard 2.5-inch SSD into a device one eighth of the size, the company said in an announcement last week.

The SSD 525 comes in 30GB, 60GB, 90GB, 120GB, 180GB, and 240GB sizes, and uses the same 25nm memory architecture as Intel's larger solid-state options. The drives use mini-SATA connectors, which allow them to be plugged into smaller PCIe slots common to notebooks while still providing a full SATA 6GB/s data rate.
