Intel SSD's

[Aoster87]

Is Intel going to release an SLC based generation 2 SSD? On newegg the only G2 drives I see are MLC.

There's been no announcement on a new generation SLC drive. I'm taking this as a sign that their X25E drive sales volumes have been so low that they don't think it's worth their while.

Man that makes me sad

OCZ is impressing me lately with their SSD developments.

With the current $/GB, most consumers aren't willing to pay the double premium for SLC, when the gains from it do not benefit the average PC user/gamer/etc. I would expect to see more SLC when the $/GB drops more.
