DarkVision Hardware Articles and Review from around the web — ... advantage, making the X25-E somewhat of a disappointment, especially considering its £505 price tag. The capacity itself is also a real sticking point – these days 32GB is nothing in terms of storage, and was barely enough space to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit and Crysis.

The Mother Board — ... all round speedy hard drive, the X25-E isn’t quite there yet. While write speed post-format is impressive, re-write speeds are doubled and read speed is no better than the cheaper, larger mainstream version of the drive.
