80GB SATA II Internal SSD

The Intel X25-M is an 80GB internal solid-state drive built for consumer notebooks and desktops. It uses MLC NAND flash memory and a 2.5-inch form factor that fits standard hard-drive bays. The SATA II interface provides broad compatibility with older and current platforms.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

Typical idle power consumption is 75 mW and active power consumption is 150 mW. The drive has no moving parts, so it operates silently and generates minimal heat. It is rated to withstand operating vibration of 2.17G at 5-700 Hz and non-operating vibration of 3.13G at 5-800 Hz.

Sustained Sequential Read Speed

Sustained sequential read reaches up to 250MBps while sustained sequential write reaches up to 70MBps. TRIM support is included for Windows 7, with the Intel SSD Toolbox providing TRIM for Vista and XP. The MTBF is rated at 1,200,000 hours.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 2.5" SATA drive and which step do people often miss?

Mount the 9.5mm high drive in a 2.5" bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, then enable AHCI in the BIOS before installing the OS; skipping AHCI disables TRIM and cuts write speed.

What maintenance will this MLC SSD need later?

Run the Intel SSD Toolbox periodically to trigger a manual TRIM on Windows Vista or XP; Windows 7 handles TRIM automatically, and the 1,200,000-hour MTBF means no scheduled hardware replacement.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on this 80GB model?

The sustained sequential write ceiling of 70MBps is reached well before the 150mW active power limit or the 1500G shock rating become factors.
