The Intel X25-E SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers ultimate performance in an industry standard 2.5" form factor while simultaneously improving system responsiveness over standard rotating media or hard disk drives (HDD) in some of the most demanding applications. By combining Intel's leading NAND flash memory technology with Intel's innovative controller, Intel delivers an SSD for native Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive drop-in replacement with enhanced performance, reliability, ruggedness and power savings.
Since there are no rotating platters, moving heads, fragile actuators, unnecessary spin up time or positional seek time that can significantly slow down the storage subsystem, the Intel X25-E SATA SSD enables fast read/write access times and significant I/O, as well as performance improvement when compared to rotating media.
