 X18-M/X25-M SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading performance in 

industry standard 1.8” and 2.5” form factors while simultaneously improving system 

responsiveness for mobile applications over standard rotating drive media or hard disk 

drives. By combining Intel’s leading NAND flash memory technology with our innovative 

high performance 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 actuaters, or unnecessary 

delays due to spin-up time or positional seek time that can slow down the storage 

subsystem significantly, the Intel X18-M/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.

This document describes the specifications of the Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSD in the 

1.8” and 2.5” form factors.

The Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSDs primarily target SATA based laptop PCs, highly 

rugged mobile client devices, as well as thin and light, mini/sub-notebooks. Key 

attributes include high performance, low power, increased system responsiveness, high 

reliability and enhanced ruggedness as compared to standard mobile SATA hard drives. 

Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSDs are available in 1.8” and 2.5” form factors that are 

electrically, mechanically, and software compatible with existing 1.8” and 2.5” Serial 

ATA slots and cables. Our flexible design allows interchangeability with existing mobile 

hard drives based on the SATA interface standard.
