Intel will create server flash drives
Next year, Intel will begin manufacturing flash-based drives designed specifically for servers. It is reported by a number of online publications with reference to Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president of the company.
The corresponding statement was made on the current IDF forum. Mr. Gelsinger said that already in 2008 some servers would be made without hard drives, instead of which NAND-based flash drives would be introduced. It is quite a natural phenomenon, given the growing popularity of such carriers in modern expensive laptops. True, similar devices for servers will differ somewhat from existing ones and will be able to simultaneously process up to several dozen data streams. Of course, the amount of electricity consumed by the drives will also decrease.
As for capacity, in this regard, at first, flash drives will, of course, not be able to compete with hard drives, and the cost of data storage will increase many times. Nevertheless, as Intel vice-president says, many consumers are ready to incur additional costs, having received in exchange for increased reliability and impressive speed characteristics.

The first such product of Intel will be a 32-gigabyte flash drive, which will be released next year. Subsequently, the corporation plans to launch the release of models at 64 and 128 GB.
