  • This speedy little device will fit and run snugly in any 2.5in laptop bay, providing excellent performance for a terrible price. If you’ve got the money to burn and want a device that is the best of its class, then Intel’s X25-M is a device yo...

  • Abstract:  Intel’s X25-M sets the benchmark for storage. With its stupendous read speeds, games and apps will load much faster than before. It’s rather pricey, as are all SSDs, so the ‘M’ for mainstream in the name is wishful thinking on Intel’s part. However, 8...
