If you thought the idea of shelling out nearly $600 for one of the impressive-looking Intel X25-M 80GB solid state drives was a holiday wish that wouldn’t be met, wait until you hear the latest news: Intel has started shipping the 160GB version as well.  No official word on pricing yet, and its not actually for sale anywhere I could find, but expect to write that check for $1000+.
Intel is expanding its award-winning Intel® X25-M and X18-M SATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) family by announcing the production release of a 160 gigabyte (GB) capacity drive in a 2.5-inch form factor. The product is shipping now, and a 1.8-inch 160GB version will begin shipping next month. Get more information and product details.
