SSD prices go from exorbitant to merely expensive.

Intel has announced it will be slashing the prices on a couple of products from its high-performance SSD line.

The Intel SSD X25-M and X25-E SATA SSDs have been snipped at by Chipzilla to become more affordable to us cash-strapped plebs struggling through the financial crisis.

The X25-M 80GB for notebooks dropped from $595 to just $390 whilst the X25-E 32GB, aimed mainly at enterprise, server, storage, workstations has gone from $US695 to $US415 for quantities up to 1,000.

Newer SSDs, including the X25-M 160GB and the X25-E 64GB have also hit Intel's cutting room floor, but the firm is not saying by exactly how much yet. When the devices shipped in December 2008, the X25-M 160GB was priced at $US765 whilst the X25-E 64GB cost $US795.
