Intel X25-M SATA II description
The Intel® X25-M SATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) brings a new level of performance and reliability to laptop and desktop PC storage. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel solid-state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness.
Wait less. Do more.
Why wait for a traditional hard disk drive to spin up? Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel solid-state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness. And for laptop PCs, the lower power needs of Intel SSDs translate to longer battery life and lighter notebooks. Higher performance with more durability means you can be truly mobile with confidence.
Better by design
Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, Intel Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives are designed to deliver outstanding performance, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND flash memory. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer.
Two options. No worries.
Intel® Mainstream Solid-State Drives are available in either 2.5in (Intel® X25-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive) or 1.8in (Intel® X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive) standard hard drive form factors. And all Intel Mainstream SSDs are tested and validated on the latest Intel-based mobile and desktop platforms for your peace of mind.
User reviews about Intel X25-M SATA II
X25-M G2 80 gig
- Pros:
- Very fast read speeds, IOPS few other drives
can match. Trim just plain works using W7 w/AHCI enabled.
- Cons:
- Write speed. Not really a con because write speed is not as critical as read speed.
- Summary:
- The biggest bottle neck on every PC is and always has been hard drive performance. I will never build another PC without using an SSD. The difference is huge. Programs launch almost instantly. My PC boots in less than half the time it took using a 7200 RPM magnetic drive. Shutdown takes less than 5 seconds. My X25-M G2 was the best upgrade I ever made. CDM results below.
