Intel® X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive

Extreme performance, reliability, and power savings for servers, storage and workstations
The Intel® Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) offers outstanding performance and reliability, delivering the highest IOPS per watt for servers, storage and high-end workstations.

Intel® X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives

Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, Intel Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drives are designed to deliver outstanding performance, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level cell NAND flash memory. With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, Intel Mainstream SATA SSDs deliver higher input/output per second and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives. These drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer.

"Copy Exactly" Factory Strategy

Intel introduced its "Copy Exactly" factory strategy in the mid-1980s and completed its adoption in 1996. Intel can credit "Copy Exactly" with enabling the company to bring factories online quickly with high-volume practices already in place; hence, decreasing time to market and increasing yields.
When Intel began implementing the "Copy Exactly" strategy, it saw rapid productivity and financial gains. As the strategy evolved, manufacturing became the heart of Intel's turnaround and growth in the 1990s. Productivity increased many times over. In 1997, VLSI Research estimated that revenues per manufacturing employee increased from $114,000 in 1985 to $461,000 in 1995. Meanwhile, the company's revenue increased by three times during those 10 years, while the number of factory workers decreased by 30 percent.
