Drive capacity is just about enough for a boot drive
The biggest worry to begin with to not have enough memory as a system disc with only 40 Gigabytes, became less of a concern after several months of use. In order for this to work however only frequently used important software should be installed together...
Fastest boot time of any drive we've tested so far in 2010, Includes mounting bracket for desktop PCs, Budget-friendly price
Cramped 40GB capacity, No 80GB model currently available in this line
Those looking to achieve speedy boot times will find lots to like with this 40GB SSD. We just wish Intel made an 80GB model in this value-oriented line. ...
Abstract: As the prices of NAND memory chips used to manufacture SSD devices don’t seem to be dropping lately, manufacturers are forced to work their way through to make them more accessible. Seeing that memory chips in a smaller production process (cheaper) are...
We’ll do some summarizing now, starting from the Intel X25-V. Cutting it short, we like this product. Intel has come up with an affordable but rather fast SSD. It was especially good in our RAID0 array, providing both a large storage capacity and a hig...

If we learn anything from these benchmarks, it’s that buying an SSD with proper management software to maintain those “new SSD” performance levels is really a huge plus. Many SSDs rely on their own included self cleaning software to manage themselves...
The Intel X25-V won’t win any outright transfer speed competitions, but unlike many of the starter SSD models currently on the market it packs a huge punch in random write performance. In our tests we found the X25-V to perform well in our StorageMark...
Abstract: On a technical level, the X25-V is identical to the popular X25-M Gen. 2 160GB drive. But its sustained write performance can’t come close to the larger drive. Regardless, as a boot drive, it would be a significant performance upgrade..
