Hitachi has announced that they plan to enter the solid-state drive (SSD) market with flash memory sourced from Intel.
Hitachi, the world's 3rd largest hard driver maker after Seagate and Western Digital, has announced that they plan to enter the solid-state drive (SSD) market with flash memory sourced from Intel. The two companies announced that they will jointly develop SSDs targeted for use in servers and workstations, with the first products to arrive in 2010.
The drives will be sold under the Hitachi brand, leaving me to wonder what will happen to Intel's X25-E line of high-end SSDs. Intel entered the SSD market earlier this year with both enterprise (X25-E) and consumer-oriented (X25-M) SSDs.
