Part #: SSDSA2MH080G2R5
The Intel X25-M SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading performance in industry standard 2.5" form factor 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, actuators, or unnecessary delays due to spin-up time, the Intel X25-M SATA SSD enables fast read/write access times and a significant I/O and throughput performance improvement as compared to rotating media or hard disk drives.
Jason's Notes
I installed one of these into my ThinkPad T60p today and cloned my 80GB Seagate Momentus 7200RPM SATA boot drive to the X25-M. The boot process speed increase was noticable, especially from power-on to logon. Where I noticed the most significant improvement was in the time it takes to open common applications on Windows XP.
Don is taking one home this weekend to run in his Macbook Pro, so we should have some feedback on that experience by Monday.
