Impressive overall performance during testing, 250MB/s read speed specification, Price of around $180 (US), 3-year warranty on parts and labor
70MB/s write speed specification, Comparably priced drives from other brands offer much greater write speeds
Many have known of the quality and performance of the Intel X25-M 80GB solid state drive since it was released in 2008, so nothing new may have been revealed by this review. But, by taking a look at it while going head-to-head with a couple of high pe...
Abstract: In its 80 GB version, the Intel SSDSA2M080G2GC (ouch!), or more simply the X25-M Postville, uses the Intel PC29AS21BA0 controller with 32 MB of Micron RAM and 10 x 8 GB 34nm Intel/Micron flash chips.

Moreover, while this flash memory doesn't seem affected and still has an endurance of 5000 write cycl..
Super fast read speeds, recent price drop makes it a more feasible purchase,
Like with other SSDs, you get less capacity for the money
SSD's have been consistently dropping in price. Right now the 160GB Intel X-25M is going for as low as $419. The 80GB can be found for as little as $225 – and not too long ago this same drive cost $599. These prices might not be affordable enough to dri...
Abstract: For sequential read, the three programs we used confirmed Intel X-25M 160 GB as the fastest solid state drive under this kind of task. The other two drives that had great performance..
