Intel SSD 320 poses naked before its release

SSDs Intel 320 series are expected next Monday but they already circulate in many hands. Our colleagues from Expreview took the opportunity to make some pictures, some quite bare. They also show the internal architecture of these new SSDs. It is almost identical to that of Postville currently sold. The controller is the same Intel PC29AS21BA0 but in a newer revision (F2T3391A1 while the former had the Postville F0N2881.1).

The 80GB model has also 10 IMFT 29F64G008ACMEI chips with a capacity of 8 GiB each (or 80 GiB total, or 85.9 GB). Intel still has just over a small reserve capacity (approximately 7%) to manage the wear, despite the weaker strength of flash memory in 25 nm. The controller is assisted by a buffer RAM 32 MB Physically, the Intel 320 are also easily confused with Postville.

Only their references to "G3" will surely distinguish the "G2".
