Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) review

By (cnet.com)

Fast transfer speeds; improves laptop battery life; shorter boot times

Expensive; low gigabyte-to-dollar ratio

The data and power connectors on the X-25M look the same as those on a traditional hard drive.

Intel X-25M 160GB MLC SSD

By Nathan Edwards (maximumpc.com)

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 ...

"Slick, tiny wave of the future."

By MrAv8er (cnet.com)

I bought an 80GB G1 unit from Newegg, which h... 

Small, silent, runs cool, oh and by the way, FAST, FAST, FAST. Seek time = next to nothing

Cost. No physical platter to retrieve data from in case of failure. G1 unit does not support TRIM. Size. The 80GB translates to 75.6 useable, Vista 64 consumed 1/3 of that. After loading on all my apps, I only had about 25GB left

Everything feels much faster over the stock 64GB HDD, and it wakes up from sleep mode very quickly
