FS: Intel 1.8" 160GB SSD - X18-M in very good condition
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2013 1:52 pm
Selling a 1.8” Intel X18-M 160GB SSD drive I no longer need.
SSDSA1M160G2GN – SATA 2 with TRIM support.
Used in the x300/301 and in other Thinkpads that use a 1.8” drive and, with an adapter, in any TP using a 2.5" drive.
Intel Toolbox reports 100% remaining life:

SSDLife estimates 8+ years of remaining life:

Asking $125, shipped, Paypal is fine.
Can include a Lenovo 1.8” to 2.5” adapter if needed.
One note, the Intel X18-M is not officially supported in a desktop but they will work.
The power supply must output 3.3v (orange wire) and must be direct from the PS and not a tap off a Molex connector.
I find the Lenovo 2.5” adapter works well.
For some reason, adapters such as the StarTach do not work with the 160GB but do work with an 80GB Intel or a Samsung SSD. Go figure.
