Pulling apart this glorified USB stick - just because we can.

Everyone in either the tech world or the normal world (we call them normies) has used a flash-based device at one point or another - they're used in the USB stick you might have floating around your computer right now.

Now the flash used in the Intel X25-E isn't some fancy-pants memristor tech (though that is fascinating in and of itself), it is based on Single-Layer Cell chips, or SLC.

This essentially means that a single bit of data will be stored in a single cell of flash, as opposed to multiple bits per cell (what you'd find in cheaper SSD's, or USB sticks), and this kind of memory is used in enthusiast-grade memory cards for photography as well as incredibly fast storage.

So, naturally, we took it apart.

Check the gallery of pics for more nakedness, but make sure you grab the next Issue of Atomic for the full review and benchies.
