Intel® X25-M SATA Solid-State Drive
Makes power users more productive.
kingston.com
Kingston’s new line of SSDNow solid-state drives (SSD)
rounds out its suite of enterprise products. The SSDNow
M Series uses Intel® solid-state drives, which are the
best-performing drives on the market. By improving a
computer’s performance and durability, SSDNow M Series
drives help increase the productivity of power users.
SSDNow M Series drives increase performance with the
impressive input and output operations per second
(IOPS), a result of the drive’s NAND Flash components and
the powerful Native Command Queuing. With higher
IOPS than a standard mechanical hard disk drive (HDD),
SSDNow M Series allows for faster boot times and faster
application loads than HDDs, ultimately making a power
user more productive.
SSD uses a standard hard disk drive interface but unlike
an HDD, SSD is very rugged and can handle more shock
because it’s built with no moving parts. Kingston’s
SSDNow M Series can withstand greater shock than an
HDD, making it an ideal solution for executives and road
warriors who push the limits of their notebooks.
Kingston’s SSDNow M Series drives are equipped with
S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology) to tell the user when a drive is about to fail.
For added peace of mind, the drives are backed by
24/7 tech support, a three-year warranty and legendary
Kingston® reliability.
