Intel X25-E SSDSA2SH064G101 2.5" 64GB SATA II SLC enterprise SSD

Intel X25-E 64 GB SLC enterprise SSD

The Intel X25-E SSDSA2SH064G101 is a 2.5-inch SATA II solid-state drive built with single-level cell flash for enterprise workloads. It delivers up to 250 MBps sequential read and 170 MBps sequential write speeds alongside 35,000 IOPS random read and 3,300 IOPS random write performance. Active power draw is 2.6 W and idle power is 0.06 W.

Suited for write-heavy server and storage arrays

This drive suits administrators who need high random read IOPS and the endurance of SLC memory in a SATA II 2.5-inch form factor. Buyers who need more storage space per drive or a faster SATA revision must select a different product. The 64 GB capacity limits use to boot, logging or cache tiers rather than bulk data retention.

SLC memory type defines endurance

The drive uses SLC flash, which provides higher program-erase cycles and consistent write latency compared with multi-level cell alternatives. This characteristic determines whether the SSD meets the durability requirements of write-intensive enterprise applications such as database logging or virtualisation caching.
