Intel X25-M SSD Review (160GB)

If this review has showed us one thing, it is that fast sequential transfer speeds aren't important in the whole scheme of things. Out of the four SSDs we tested the Intel X25-M had the slowest sequential write speeds by far.

Super fast random 4K write performance; Super fast I/O performance; Doesn't cost an arm and a leg

Intel SSD Toolbox is currently Windows-only

Intel X25-M G2

Last fall, Intel turned the solid state storage world upside down when it released the ground-breaking X25-M, the first drive to offer a combination of fast read and write speeds while using lower-cost multi-level cell (MLC) NAND Flash memory.

Blazing fast application open times; Low cost per gigabyte

Expensive overall; Modest write performance

Intel X-25M 160GB MLC SSD

Last fall, Intel slapped the solid state drive market on the back of the head with the release of the 80GB X25-M MLC drive. That drive absolutely trounced the competition with its 200MB/s read speeds, incredibly low random-access times, and best of all, no random-write stuttering or cache overflows.

Blazing-fast reads and random writes; decent capacity.

Can't keep up in sustained writes

Intel X25-M 80GB SSD, Intel Ups The Ante

There's an old cliche' that certainly applies to commodity semiconductor and electronics technology, as well as many other competitive arenas; "go big or go home".  If you look at major semiconductor manufacturers, like Intel, AMD, Samsung and NVIDIA, you'll notice that they generally do not enter a

Fastest 225MB/s average reads; Blazing fast <1ms random access; Fastest real-world write performance we've seen to date; Generally 2 - 3X faster than other MLC-based SSDs; 3-year warranty

Expensive versus other MLC SSD drives; Much more expensive versus standard hard drives; Max 80GB density currently

We also tried copying a test 1GB file, and the time it took to copy the file went from taking 58 seconds with the original Hitachi hard drive, to 11 seconds with the Intel X-25M. SSD drives are more famous for their great read speeds, but in this case, X-25M's write speeds was a massive improvement...

Super fast read speeds; recent price drop makes it a more feasible purchase

Like with other SSDs; you get less capacity for the money

Until Marvell and SandForce released their first solid state drives Intel had a performance lead on all of their competitors. Unfortunately in our testing we found the 80GB Postville SSD lacked capacity and at the time the 160GB version cost substantially more than most consumers were willing to...
