Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The Intel X-25E Extreme SATA Solid State Drive is the ideal storage solution for servers, high-end workstations, and other enterprise applications. Unlike traditional hard drives with moving parts, the X-25E uses NAND flash memory that offers extreme performance and reliability and delivers the highest Input/Output Operations per second (IOPS) per watt.
A New Kind of Storage for Faster Performance and Better Reliability
For enterprise applications, where performance, reliability, power consumption, and space are critical, the X-25E is the ideal solution. Instead of spinning platters like traditional hard drives, the X-25E is a Solid State Drive (SSD) and uses flash memory for storage, so there are no moving parts to break down.
The great performance of the X-25E makes it ideal for servers, workstations, and other critical use.

For enterprise applications, where performance, reliability, power consumption, and space are critical, the X-25E is the ideal solution. Instead of spinning platters like traditional hard drives, the X-25E is a Solid State Drive (SSD) and uses flash memory for storage, so there are no moving parts to break down.
The X-25E works and installs just like traditional drives: it uses the latest SATA interface for throughput of up to 3.0 Gbps and is in the industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor. For your peace of mind, Intel has even tested and validated every X-25E drive on the latest Intel-based server and workstation platforms, so you'll be confident of its superb reliability.
All this adds up to a storage solution that is quieter, cooler, takes up less space, and uses less power. Just imagine the reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) when you replace dozens of high-RPM traditional drives in your server with just one X-25E.
Performs Even Faster than Other Solid State Drives
Intel has been making memory chips for decades, and it shows with the X-25E's intelligent design and outstanding performance. The drive implements an advanced architecture, using 10 parallel NAND flash channels with single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory for greater performance and reliability than drives that use multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory. The drive also features technologies such as Native Command Queuing, which enables up to 32 simultaneous operations.
The result is higher input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput than other SSD drives on the market. It achieves sustained sequential read speeds of up to 250 MBps and sustained sequential write speeds of up to 170 MBps, with a read latency of just 75 microseconds. The X25-E performs more than 35,000 IOPS with random 4 KB reads, and more than 3,300 IOPS with random 4 KB writes.
Higher Reliability and Silent Operation
Compared to traditional hard drives, the X-25E is both faster and more durable. Since it doesn't have spinning disks or writing heads, there are fewer parts to fail. It is also less susceptible to vibrations and shock and is completely silent. The X-25E is rated at 2 million hours mean time before failure (MTBF) for superb reliability.
Lower Power Consumption is Good for the Wallet and Environment
The X-25E also consumes far less power than traditional drives, lowering energy costs. When active, the drive draws 2.4 W on a typical server workload and just 0.06 W when idle.
The Intel X-25E Extreme SATA Solid State Drive is RoHS compliant for its use of non-hazardous materials. It supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) commands as well as additional SSD monitoring. It is backed by a three-year limited warranty.
The great performance of the X-25E makes it ideal for servers, workstations, and other critical use.

This review is from: Intel X25-E Extreme 32GB SATA 2.5-Inch SLC Solid State Drive (Personal Computers)
The biggest complaint people seem to have had about this drive is the price and capacity. Truth be told, the price is absolutely worth it. How many other components in your system can you migrate to your next system? This is one of those components. You probably invested hundreds of dollars into your RAM and CPU hoping your computer would be faster, perhaps you even setup RAID, but the fact is, whatever you did to upgrade your computer, it's potential is going to waste unless it's sporting one of these drives.
I'll share a rundown of my workstation configuration: First, I have two of these X25-E drives with RAID in my workstation. Not because I needed the extra speed (one drive is speedy enough) but because I need redundancy. Never know when something will fail, even one of these disks, so that is my personal solution. Windows 7 boots up to the Desktop in 14 seconds from power-on, and most of those 14 seconds is waiting for the BIOS to initiate the other system components. Second, the 32GB storage is plenty for the operating system (Windows 7), all of my applications including Office and Photoshop, and I still have about 11 GB to spare. For graphics, music, videos, etc., I do not use this drive as storage. I have much cheaper and much larger secondary internal mass storage and external USB mass storage for that. Why waste the high performance SSD on static data, right? Third, prior to owning this X25-E, I already had an iRAM disk (by GigaByte). Now, it isn't nearly as spacious, but it did it's job. I've re-attached it as tertiary storage and moved my Windows paging file, TEMP folders, and Photoshop scratch files here. The system already performed well without doing this, but now I feel I'm getting even more money's worth from both the iRAM and the SSD in terms of longevity and wear. (I am considering HyperOS's HyperDrive 5M for editing larger Photoshop and 3D rendering scratch space, but I digress.) Fourth, not only does this SSD use less power and is quiet, but it also caused my workstation fans to slow down from the reduction of internal temperature. There's even less noise and heat emanating from the box now, plus the cooler flowing air is healthier for the video card and iRAM drive, is it not? Last, but not least, I've tested MTRON Pro (search "Battleship MTRON" for testing on these disks by NLH) and RunCore drives which claim similar capability as this X25-E. Their claims are not so accurate. In fact, the MTRON disks died within 6 months (3 out of 4!!) and the RunCore tended to lock up the GUI during huge write operations. I'd recommened the RunCore only for *netbook* upgrades because of form-factor, but I'll be upgrading my *laptop* with an X25-E for sure, especially now that they're available in 64GB capacities. I guarantee if you use this disk, you WILL NOT BE UNHAPPY. As with any storage, though, it can fail and backups are your ONLY recourse for unique data -- so do it. This is merely best practice as there isn't, and has never been, a magical data unicorn to save us from hardware failure.

Wicked fast amazing drive,
This review is from: Intel X25-E Extreme 32GB SATA 2.5-Inch SLC Solid State Drive (Personal Computers)
I've been using one of these for about 6 months now and I must say it's amazing. The snappiness of applications on starting up is fantastic. It is a bit of a pain to have to offload a lot of things to slower storage, but it's made development on this system a breeze!
I'd give it 4.5 stars just because of the price, but otherwise it's been good to me.
