Extreme performance, reliability, and power savings for servers, storage and workstations

The Intel® Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive (SSD) offers outstanding performance and reliability, delivering the highest IOPS per watt for servers, storage and high-end workstations.Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)Enterprise applications place a premium on performance, reliability, power consumption and space. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel Solid-State Drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool storage solution that also offers significantly higher performance than traditional server drives.

Imagine replacing up to 50 high-RPM hard disk drives with one Intel X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive in your servers — handling the same server workload in less space, with no cooling requirements and lower power consumption.

That space and power savings, for the same server workload, will translate to a tangible reduction in your TCO.Better by designDrawing from decades of memory engineering experience, the Intel X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive is designed to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, featuring the latest-generation native SATA interface with an advanced architecture employing 10 parallel NAND flash channels equipped with single-level cell NAND flash memory for even greater overall performance and reliability.

With powerful Native Command Queuing to enable up to 32 concurrent operations, these Intel SSDs deliver higher Input/Output Operations per Second (IOPS) and throughput performance than other SSDs on the market today - and drastically outperform traditional hard disk drives.

These Intel drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer.Validated and tested by Intel, on IntelAll Intel® X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drives are tested and validated on the latest Intel-based server and workstation platforms, for your peace of mind.

Intel® Multi-Core Technology

Multi-core processors are single chips that contain two or more distinct processors or execution cores in the same integrated circuit. While independent, their construction makes for interdependent task-sharing.



What does that mean for you?
Increasingly, software is being developed that sends multiple instructions which need to be processed simultaneously.Tens of thousands of times a second—especially while running intensive programs like high-definition video rendering or engineering programs—software is making decisions. Here's how Intel® processors do it better.
Intel® Dual-Core Technology


Intel® Core™2 Duo processors incorporate two processor execution cores in a single processor package that delivers—with appropriate software—a fully parallel execution of multiple software threads. This allows each core to run at a lower frequency, dividing the power normally given to a single core.The result for you is not just faster processing. It's that, well, your photo is ready. While you IM'd. And printed off an architectural schematic. So keep going. The Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor is ready.

Intel® Quad-Core Technology


Quad-core technology is a single processor that includes four processor cores. Think of them as four simultaneously hard-working brains that can work separately or together on one large task, which produces faster, more efficient results for you.

Choosing the Right Auto Insurer

FINDING A GOOD deal on an auto insurance policy isn't easy these days, especially if you live in a high-cost state like New Jersey, New York or California. So when looking for coverage, be prepared to do some research.

In some states, more than 200 companies write auto policies, so even if you get a half-dozen quotes, you're only scratching the surface.(In others, you'll have less than 50 to choose from.)
And even once you find a company with great rates, there's no guarantee you'll get them. After all, you may not qualify for a simple reason, like a poor driving record.

Worse yet, you may find that the great rate evaporates once your policy comes up for renewal in six months or a year.So be on your guard. To lock in the cheapest deal, you may have to insure with a company you've never heard of and switch providers fairly often.

Either way, it pays to shop around. Here's a guide to the most efficient way to find a good deal.Internet Quotes The Web is a great place to start your search. You can get quotes both from the Web sites of insurers like Geico Direct and General Electric's Electric Insurance and from services like InsWeb.
