Intel®, X25-M, X18-M Mainstream and X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drives


Every one in the computer field wants high data reliability; high speed data transfer and quality storage media for long life data consistency. SSDs bring a new level of performance and reliability to laptop, desktop PC, Servers, Storage, and Workstations storage. SSDs have no moving parts(so due to high data transfer speed and shocking environment there is minimum possibility of physical problems in the internal parts).It is a boon for  computer industry to gives high throughput without any storage media inconsistency.

Intel SSD featuring the latest-generation native SATA interfaces for high processing computation.

Features of Intel SSDs are:-

  • Less maintenance
  • Quiet
  • faster system responsiveness
  • No heating problems
  • enable up to 32 concurrent operations
  • deliver higher input/output per second
  • low write amplification
  • unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability
  • 10 parallel NAND Flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND Flash memory
  • High shocking resistance
  • Less power consumption

Technical Specification Intel X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives(use for laptop and desktop pc)

Both these models are good for the laptop lovers it reduces the weight of the notebook, increases the battery life and gives Higher performance with more durability mean you can be truly mobile with confidence
