Intel® Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series (M.2)
1 Introduction
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series (Intel®
SSD Pro 2500 Series).
The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series delivers the next generation of Professional storage solution with enhanced security
and manageability features, power-efficient performance, and lower total cost of ownership. The latest generation
of the Intel® SSD Professional Family supports Trusted Computing Group* (TCG*) Opal version 2.0 features and is
Microsoft eDrive* capable, although “off” is the eDrive factory default out-of-box setting. In addition, Intel’s proven
reliability and low power consumption provide an enhanced mobile experience.
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series also offers the following additional key features:
Security and Manageability Features
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is a hardware-based self-encrypting drive (SED) enhanced with Opal 2.0* security
features. The TCG Opal specification describes a secure boot capability (pre-boot authentication), protection for
user data, and administrative capabilities, improving security of critical data at rest. Manageability options are
expanded when the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is coupled with the latest Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor systems and
software such as Intel® Set-up & Configuration Service (Intel® SCS) with the Intel® SSD Pro Plug-in. Offering unique
manageability options, IT Administrators can proactively manage the Intel® Solid-State Drive Professional Family
and reduce deployment costs while keeping their PCs running smoothly.
Quality and Reliability Capabilities
Quality and reliability are the cornerstones of Intel® SSD Products and the Intel SSD Pro 2500 is no different.
Limiting employee down-time is critical; the reliability of the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is key for Low Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO).
Power-Efficient Performance
The new advanced low power modes enable longer battery life and greater mobility. In addition, the Intel SSD Pro
2500 Series provides higher performance throughput for the most demanding workloads.
Stability
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is part of the Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP). Intel SIPP aligns key
Intel platform components, enabling a predictable transition from one technology generation to the next with
minimal compatibility issues. Enhancing software and hardware stability, Intel SIPP aligns with key Intel platform
components and drivers and is currently available for at least 15 months post platform Intel SIPP availability.
Tools
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is aligned with the latest version of the Intel® SSD Toolbox for consumers and the Intel®
SSD Pro Administrator Tool for business and IT professionals. Intel tools provide key capabilities to maximize your
Intel SSD experience. (Visit www.intel.com/ssd to access the Tools panel for download.)

maintaining proper device operating temperature on heavier workloads.
2. Please contact your Intel representative for details on the non-operating temperature range.
3. Temperature gradient measured without condensation.
4. Shock specifications assume SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the drive-mounting
screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Shock specification is measured using peak acceleration and
pulse width value.
5. Vibration specifications assume the SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the drive-mounting
screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Vibration specification is measured using G Root Mean
Squared (GRMS) value.
2.13.1 Altitude
The drive is not sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure because it has no moving parts. Drive tested under
non-operational conditions to pressures representative of -1 K and +40 K feet.
