Refurbished Intel X25-M 160GB drive

This refurbished Intel X25-M drive provides 160GB of internal storage in a 2.5" form factor. It uses MLC memory components and connects via a SATA interface. The unit stands 7.00mm high and was first listed by the manufacturer in 2020.

Best for legacy SATA upgrades

The drive suits owners of older laptops or desktops that only accept 2.5" SATA drives and need a modest capacity boost. Builders who require larger capacities, faster interfaces or newer form factors should look at other options.

SATA interface decides compatibility

The SATA interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive will work in a given system. Only machines with a matching SATA connector and 2.5" bay can use it.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the X25-M series fits a 2.5 inch bay?

The 160GB model uses the 2.5 inch form factor and 7.00mm height, so it fits standard laptop and desktop drive bays.

What does the 160GB capacity mean for everyday use?

It provides 160GB of MLC flash storage for the operating system, applications and frequently used files on a SATA connection.

How does the SATA II interface limit transfer speed?

The SATA II link caps sequential throughput at 3 Gb/s, so real-world read and write speeds will not exceed that ceiling.
