Update: 30/01/10
Zoals beloofd de update met de review en verdere benchmarks. Ik heb nog geen tijd gehad om een volledig review te schrijven maar dat is ook niet echt nodig gezien het al beschreven staat in de review zelf. Het was leuk om deze review te schrijven, en ik houd me aanbevolen voor verbeteringen. De X25-V is uiteindelijk een zeer goede OS schrijf die eindelijk betaalbaar is. - Aeogenia

So very close to its bigger brother the X25-M 80GB, and so the performance is almost the same. Even thou it has only half the controller, that's quite surprising.
ICH10 vs SB750
I've also made a comparison with storage controllers, this the AMD SB750 found in the 790FX and 790GX motherboards. There seems to be decreased performance vs the ICH10 from Intel. But considering that this is a Intel SSD, with a Intel chip-set. The SSD may be optimised to work better with a Intel storage controller. The results are almost the same, and comparable with those with the Intel chip-set. Inter-pert these results as you like.

Review
This is my short review of the Intel X25-V 40GB. The drive itself is a 2.5inch SSD, that came in a box with a 3.5inch bracket, 10 screws and a manual on CD and a little book. The installation is very easy, just connect the device to a port and the device will auto load(Windows). The installation of Windows 7 on the SSD, was really easy and took no more then 12 Min to complete. There was still 23.1GB space left after installation, so plenty for essential programs and even a few games. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase, its has made a very good performance boost, while costing only a fraction of other larger/faster SSD's. The speed is very good, boot time has decreased from 40 seconds to 14 seconds and program load times are very reduced. The only thing untested is the low write speed, but this is only a trivial mater in case OS drive.
My conclusion:
A very good OS SSD drive for a budget friendly price, a good alternative for the X25-M 80GB. At the same time it has comparable performance, enough size for OS and programs TRIM support and it cost half the price. I would recommend this drive to anyone looking to jump on the SSD bandwagon.
Plan:
1. Post first benchmarks - Done
2. Install Windows 7 for benchmarks - Done
3. Make pictures of the SSD and packaging
4. Write a review - Done
5. Tune the drive for performance

Ik heb deze nu inmiddels 12 dagen als OS schijf in gebruik. Om heel eerlijk te zijn, het verschil is niet zo enorm denderend groot als ik had verwacht. Ik ben ook tegelijkertijd overgestapt van 32-bit naar Win7 64-bit, dus wellicht kan eea daar ook nog aan liggen (of mijn verouderde MB, P5K-E). Maargoed, als alles goed reageert gaat het ook echt snel inderdaad, opstarten/afsluiten/slaapstand enz gaat stuk vlotter, applicaties ook, mits deze niet soms blijven hangen. Maar dat kan dus in mijn geval ook aan OS of andere dingen liggen, wat ik met Win7 32-bit en F1 750GB schijf niet had overigens. Ook kan 37,2 GB net te weinig zijn, zeker met 64-bit OS. Ik zit er al redelijk doorheen (<10GB over)met alleen maar standaard apps, zonder games en dergelijke.
