Introduction
The Intel® 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.
1.1
Product Overview
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.

Nonrecoverable Read Errors
The nonrecoverable read error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified number
of bits read. In the extremely unlikely event of a nonrecoverable read error, the drive
will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and
is not returned to the host.

Mean Time Between Failure
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is calculated based on a Part Stress Analysis. It
assumes nominal voltage, with all other parameters within specified range.
Power On/Off Cycles
Defined as power being removed from the drive, and then restored. Most host systems
remove power from the drive when entering suspend and hibernate as well as on a
system shutdown.
3.5.4
Minimum Useful Life
A typical client usage of 20 GB writes per day is assumed. Should the host system
attempt to exceed 20 GB writes per day by a large margin for an extended period, the
drive will enable the endurance management feature to adjust write performance. By
efficiently managing performance, this feature enables the device to have, at a
minimum, a five year useful life. Under normal operation conditions, the drive will not
invoke this feature.
