In January 2009, Apple introduced the 17" unibody MacBook Pro with an optional 256GB solid state drive (will display as 244 gigabytes when formatted). See also how the X25-M performs in a Mac Pro and with RAID. That simple change may make all the difference (capacity) for notebook users. Update Feb 14, 2009: Intel is now shipping a 160GB version of the X25-M, with claimed performance identical to the 80GB model. And there are some downsides, such as capacity. The Intel X25-M is highly regarded, but does it actually improve the computing experience consistently? The answer is yes, but there are some caveats as to whether the X25-M will actually make a difference for the tasks you actually perform. Even if you’re not in the market for SSD, the hard drive comparison will be very interesting for those looking for an upgrade. This test compares the 80GB Intel X25-M solid state drive to four late-2008 state-of-the-art 2.5" laptop hard drives.
