Intel (INTC) Offers New SSDs at Lower Price

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) released it third generation (3G) solid-state drives (SSDs) this week, offering them for a 30 percent drop in price.

Even though the price was slashed on the SSDs, the company added more features and functions to it.

“Intel’s third generation of SSDs add enhanced data security features, power-loss management and innovative data redundancy features to once again advance SSD technology. Whether it’s a consumer or corporate IT looking to upgrade from a hard disk drive, or an enterprise seeking to deploy SSDs in their data centers, the new Intel SSD 320 series will continue to build on our reputation of high quality and dependability over the life of the SSD,” Hazan added.

Intel was trading at $19.91, falling $0.27, or 1.36 percent, as of 1:52 PM EDT.
