Intel® High-Performance SATA Solid-State Drive Product Line
NAND Storage Solutions from Intel
Intel® X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drives
Extreme Performance and Reliability for Servers, Storage, and Workstations
The Intel® Extreme SATA Solid-State Drives (SSDs) offers outstanding performance and reliability for
servers, storage, and high-end workstations.
Reduce Your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Enterprise applications place a premium on performance, reliability, power consumption, and space. Unlike traditional
hard disk drives, Intel® Solid-State Drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool storage solution that also offers
signicantly higher performance than traditional server drives. Imagine replacing up to 50 high-RPM hard disk drives
with one Intel® X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive in your servers—handling the same server workload in less space,
with no cooling requirements and lower power consumption. That space and power savings, for the same server workload,
will translate into a tangible reduction in your TCO.
Better by Design
Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, the Intel X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive is designed
to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, featuring the latest generation native SATA interface with an advanced
architecture employing 10 parallel NAND Flash channels equipped with single-level cell NAND Flash memory for even
greater overall performance and reliability. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations,
these Intel SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market
today—and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives. These Intel drives also feature low write amplification
and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better—they last longer.
