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

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.
