160GB Intel SSD X25M High-Performance 2.5" SATA Solid State Disk by Intel

Intel® High Performance SATA Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are designed to deliver outstanding performance and reliability. With no moving parts, Intel SSDs offer a quiet storage solution that responds quickly and uses less power. Compared to traditional hard disk drives, Intel SSDs are significantly more responsive, much more reliable, have lower power consumption and are completely quiet.

Intel SSDs are designed and validated specifically for PC applications using Intel's deep knowledge and understanding of PC design. Details include:

- Use of high performance Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) working group spec flash chips
- Parallel 10 channel architecture for high sustained read/write bandwidth
- Extremely high random access speeds (I/O operations per second or IOPs) that are tuned for typical PC applications and modern operating systems

Highly efficient internal SSD controller functions, including Intel's unique wear-leveling algorithm1 and low write amplification factor,2 enhance the SSD reliability.

Intel offers high-performance solid-state drives in industry-standard form factors for servers and all types of PCs (desktops, nettops, notebooks, netbooks).


PC enthusiasts demand the most from their system. Differentiate your client PC offerings by using Intel® X25-M or X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives. Benefits include:
