Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD (34nm NAND) Good or Bad?

Shou Miko · Oct 3, 2011

i just bought this SSD about 1year and 9month old for about 123,39USD / 91,38euro.

Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD (34nm NAND) - SSDSA2MH080G2C1

http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/index.htm

it will come with the newest firmware i got the seller to update the firmware for me.

i am actually excited about it, bcs it's my first SSD and 80gb should be fine i think ^^

There dam good SSD's you should be happy even twice as happy as me as i payed over $430 some time ago and they been great. There still hitting there said speeds as well and used every day and i am on Vista so no trim but intel has there own way with dealing with that so make sure you install there..

maybe u should upgrade to Windows 7 and get the Trim Support u can always go Professional instead of Ultimate there u can still get rid of Run As Administrator and the UAC, that's why i am on Ultimate plus i got them for like a really nice price bcs i bought a good bunch of them not just for myself but family too.

There's no reason to get 7 Vista works perfectly fine without trim because of intels garbage collection.

I got both vista copys for free when MS was giving them away

Congrats! I bought the same SSD around 2 years ago, still going strong for my main OS drive and a few games.
These X25-M from Intel were pretty reliable, and the kings of performance for quite while.
