Intel has made sure that their 34nm X25-M Gen 2 SSD will perform better than ever thanks to the new SSD Toolbox that will include an SSD Optimizer which allows users to monitor and manage the SSD's health more effectively. Apart from that, the 160GB model will be able to experience a performance boost to sequential write speeds of up to 100MB/sec - that's a cool 40% faster compared to what you're getting from existing firmware.
