Intel supplies Google storage

Intel is working its close ties to Google for solid state storage drive (SSD) sales, says The Register.

Sources have told Digitimes that Google plans to test out SSD storage in an effort to lower power consumption at its vast data centres.

The search engine will turn to Intel for the SSD gear. And, if true, that's great news for Intel, which hopes to make a run at turning SSDs into a big business.
