Unfortuneately the X25-E is considerably more expensive than the X25-M, but it's faster than the X25-M and will last for ten times the number of write cycles.A plus is that it doesn't suffer as much from speed degradation over time either.</P><P></P><P>The X25-E doesn't support TRIM.</P> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:41:12 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/intel-ssd-in-windows-2003-servers/m-p/1948#M1810 idata 2009-11-18T23:41:12Z
