Intel have launched a 160GB SSD. It has a 2.5" form factor at the moment with a 1.8" form factor becoming available in January. It is numbed the X25-M and has no official price just yet.
The smaller 80GB version of the X25-M currently costs $540, so expect prices to be a few hundred more then that initially.
The X25-M and X18-M SSD's from Intel have had some good reviews in the past. This is down to their read/write speeds that are at 250Mbps and 70Mbps respectively.
These are a set of SSD drives worth looking out for when you spot them in the shops although if money is a deciding factor, then give it a few months to get them at a better price.
