Intel X25-M Solid State Drive – Better By Design

Solid State Drives are catching the attention of solution providers through out the computer industry primarily due to the dramatic gains in performance, lower power consumption, longer MDF, and higher shock ratings all of which make these drives ideal for many computer usage models such as notebooks and high IOPS servers.

As this technology segment has continued to grow, with the successful launch of the Intel M25-X many new competitors, mainly memory companies, have begun to offer SSDs as a way to gain access to the storage market.  With so many choices, it’s important to understand that not all SSDs are created equal and as such not all will yield the same performance benefits.
