Introduction  
The Intel® X18-M/X25-M SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading performance in  
industry standard 1.8” and 2.5” form factors while simultaneously improving system  
responsiveness for mobile applications over standard rotating drive media or hard disk  
drives. By combining Intel’s leading NAND flash memory technology with our innovative  
high performance controller, Intel delivers an SSD for Native Serial Advanced  
Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive drop-in replacement with enhanced  
performance, reliability, ruggedness and power savings.  
Since there are no rotating platters, moving heads, fragile actuaters, or unnecessary  
delays due to spin-up time or positional seek time that can slow down the storage  
subsystem significantly, the Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSD enables fast read/write  
access times and a significant I/O and throughput performance improvement as  
compared to rotating media or hard disk drives.  
This document describes the specifications of the Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSD in the  
1.8” and 2.5” form factors.  
1.1  
Product Overview  
The Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSDs primarily target SATA based laptop PCs, highly  
rugged mobile client devices, as well as thin and light, mini/sub-notebooks. Key  
attributes include high performance, low power, increased system responsiveness, high  
reliability and enhanced ruggedness as compared to standard mobile SATA hard drives.  
Intel X18-M/X25-M SATA SSDs are available in 1.8” and 2.5” form factors that are  
electrically, mechanically, and software compatible with existing 1.8” and 2.5” Serial  
ATA slots and cables. Our flexible design allows interchangeability with existing mobile  
hard drives based on the SATA interface standard.

Nonrecoverable Read Errors  
The nonrecoverable read error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified number  
of bits read. In the extremely unlikely event of a nonrecoverable read error, the drive  
will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and  
is not returned to the host.

Mean Time Between Failure  
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is calculated based on a Part Stress Analysis. It  
assumes nominal voltage, with all other parameters within specified range.  
Power On/Off Cycles  
Defined as power being removed from the drive, and then restored. Most host systems  
remove power from the drive when entering suspend and hibernate as well as on a  
system shutdown.  
3.5.4  
Minimum Useful Life  
A typical client usage of 20 GB writes per day is assumed. Should the host system  
attempt to exceed 20 GB writes per day by a large margin for an extended period, the  
drive will enable the endurance management feature to adjust write performance. By  
efficiently managing performance, this feature enables the device to have, at a  
minimum, a five year useful life. Under normal operation conditions, the drive will not  
invoke this feature.

the ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5v power pin P7.  
the signal pins and the rest of the 5V power pins P8-P9.  
4.  
Ground connectors P4 and P12 may contact before the other 1st mate pins in both the power and signal connectors to  
discharge ESD in a suitably configured backplane connector.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
Power pins P7, P8,and P9 are internally connected to one another within the device.  
The host may ground P11 if it is not used for Device Activity Signal (DAS).  
Pins P13, P14 and P15 are connected together, although they are not connected internally to the device. The host may put  
12 V on these pins.

Hot Plug Support  
Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported in the presence of a proper connector  
and appropriate operating system (OS) support as described in the SATA 2.6  
specification. This product supports Asynchronous Signal Recovery and will issue an  
unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered connector to guarantee reliable  
detection by a host system without hardware device detection.
