INTEL HAS JUST announced it will be slashing the prices on a couple of products from its high-performance SSD line.

The Intel SSD X25-M and X25-E SATA SSDs have been snipped at by Chipzilla to become more affordable to us cash-strapped plebs struggling through the financial crisis.

The X25-M 80GB for notebooks dropped from $595 to just $390 whilst the X25-E 32GB, aimed mainly at enterprise, server, storage and workstations has gone from $695 to $415 for quantities up to 1,000.

Newer SSDs, including the X25-M 160GB have also hit Intel's cutting room floor, going from $945 when the devices shipped in December 2008, to $765. The original X25-E (32GB) was $595 and is now $415, whilst the X25-E 64GB sees no chnage in price, remaining at $795. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
