Amazon.com Product Description
The future of computer storage is here! The Intel X25-M Mainstream SATA II Solid State Drive (Retail) provides faster disk performance and greater durability than traditional hard drives. Since it stores data using NAND flash memory instead of spinning platters, the X25-M will never keep you waiting for disks to spin up. For further convenience, there are no moving parts to worry about breaking down.

The X25-M is a SATA II hard drive with a capacity of 160 GB. Additionally, it's in a 2.5-inch form factor that will work anywhere a regular 2.5-inch hard drive does, such as in notebook computers and external enclosures.
But don't think that the X25-M is any old drive. Instead of using spinning platters like traditional hard drives, the X25-M is a Solid State Drive (SSD), and it uses flash memory for storage, giving you dramatically faster data access. If you need less disk space, the X25-M also comes in a 80 GB version.
Performs Faster than Other Solid State Drives
Intel has been making memory chips for decades, and the company's experience is clearly displayed with the X25-M drive, which uses Intel's Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash Memory. This delivers better performance than other SSDs, thanks to an advanced architecture and technologies such as Native Command Queuing, which enables up to 32 simultaneous operations. The result is sustained sequential read speeds of up to 250 MBps, sustained sequential write speeds of up to 70 MBps, and a read latency of just 85 microseconds.
And thanks to the drive's SATA interface that offers data throughput of up to 3.0 Gbps, you can take advantage of all that speed. What all this means for you is that applications launch instantaneously, files copy in less time, and your overall productivity is increased.
Optimize Performance with the Intel SSD Toolbox
Intel offers the Intel SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer, so you can easily optimize and manage the performance of your drive. Simply download the Intel SSD Toolbox and you'll get a powerful set of management, information, and diagnostic tools to help you maintain performance at "fresh out-of-the-box" levels. The Intel SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer is specially designed to run on Microsoft Windows 7, and it also works with Microsoft Windows Vista and XP.
Higher Reliability and Silent Operation
Compared to traditional hard drives, the X25-M is both faster and more durable. Because it doesn't have spinning disks or writing heads, there are fewer parts to fail. It is also less susceptible to vibration and shock and is completely silent. Providing superb reliability, the X25-M is rated at 1.2 million hours mean time before failure (MTBF).
Lower Power Consumption is Good for the Environment
The X25-M also consumes far less power than traditional drives, which saves you money and makes this drive a choice. The drive is certified RoHS compliant for its use of non-hazardous materials. Additionally, when it's installed in a laptop, the X25-M will give you better battery life, which means you can work longer on cross-country plane trips.
The Intel X25-M Mainstream SATA II Solid State Drive supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) commands, as well as additional SSD monitoring.
The X25-M is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

| 74 of 76 people found the following review helpful  Performance is worth the price, By This review is from: Intel 2.5-Inch 160 GB X25-M Mainstream SATA II MLC Solid-State Drive - Retail Package SSDSA2MH160G2R5 (Personal Computers) Leaving a review here mostly because I see two 1 star reviews because of poor customer service, and nothing with the product itself. For the record, I did order from ANTOnline and was told the item was "in stock." After a week the drive had not shipped, I sent an email asking for a status and was told the item had not yet shipped from the supplier. ANTOnline should be avoided, possibly banned from Amazon, since they are actively misleading customers with "in stock". (I canceled my order and placed the order through NewEgg). The version of this drive I have is after the initial batch, which has a bug with setting a password lock on the drive.My first SSD is in my Dell 1330M XPS laptop. No only has it proven to make a large impact on battery life (I don't even bother plugging in the laptop when given presentations that run from an hour to 90 minutes), it has made a huge impact on application speed. I've had developers approach me after a presentation and ask me about...

So let's get going and let's have some fun! You're probably reading this because you either want an SSD, already have one, or are adding a 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th to a system you've built, or are improving your notebook, or desktop PC or Mac with this fantastic new technology an SSD offers us, so we all have that in common, plus there's a general interest in SSD's that...

Did I say fast?, By This review is from: Intel 2.5-Inch 160 GB X25-M Mainstream SATA II MLC Solid-State Drive - Retail Package SSDSA2MH160G2R5 (Personal Computers) The Intel 160GB SSD installed for me without any problems at all. I like that Intel includes a steel adapter bracket that lets you mount the SSD in a desktop system where a 3.5" hard drive goes. The bracket has standard spacing for the side holes and elongated slots where the SSD mounts so you can adjust things to your heart's content. There is also a plastic spacer screwed to the top for installation in laptops that take 9.5mm (something like that) thick drives, or you can remove it for those that need the thinner drives. Two sets of screws are included.My drive arrived with one firmware version back - I downloaded the late November firmware updater from Intel's web site (a bootable .iso) and it worked fine. I'm using the drive on Windows 7 and am glad to have TRIM support. Note: If you are using Windows 7, you must make sure that your computer's BIOS is set to use the AHCI mode for disk drives, otherwise you won't get the benefit of TRIM. Before you do... Read more |
