The Intel X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) bring a new level of performance
and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage.
Wait Less. Do More.
Why wait for a traditional hard disk drive to spin up? Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel Solid-State Drives have no
moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness.
And for notebook PCs, the lower power needs of Intel SSDs translate to longer battery life and lighter notebooks.
Higher performance with more durability mean you can be truly mobile with confidence.
Better by Design
Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, Intel Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives are designed to
deliver outstanding performance, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture
employing 10 parallel NAND Flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND Flash memory. With powerful Native
Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output
per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market todayand drastically outperform traditional
hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability,
meaning Intel drives not only perform betterthey last longer.
Two Options. No Worries.
Intel Mainstream Solid-State Drives are available in either 2.5 (Intel X25-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive) or 1.8
(Intel X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive) standard hard drive form factors. And all Intel Mainstream SSDs are
tested and validated on the latest Intel-based notebook and desktop platforms for your peace of mind.
