PRODUCT BRIEF

Lose the Lag. Lose the Limits.

The Next Generation of Consumer Computing

Utilizing its new small form factor, higher performance, and low idle power, the 530 Series is the next evolution of Intel® Solid-State Drives.

Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series Non-Volatile Memory Storage Solutions

A New Generation of Power Efficient Performance

With the Intel SSD 530 Series, your computer will blaze through the most demanding consumer client applications and easily handle intense multi-tasking.

The Intel SSD 530 Series accelerates platform performance with sequential read and write performance up to 540 and 490 megabytes per second (MB/s) Random read and write input/output operations per second (IOPs) reach up to 41K and 80K respectively.

In addition to strong performance gains, Intel SSD 530 Series provides extended battery life through new lower power modes. Idle power consumption of Intel SSD 530 Series is reduced by >90% in comparison to a typical hard disc drive reducing power from watts to milliwatts. When the Intel SSD 530 Series is coupled with a 4th generation Intel® Core based platform, advanced power mode settings reduce power dissipation, another order of magnitude – from milliwatts to microwatts.

Intel Evolving Storage Technology

Intel® Solid-State Drives (Intel® SSDs) continue to evolve with the introduction of the Intel® SSD 530 Series.

Aimed at a wide array of consumer platforms, including

Ultrabook™, traditional desktops and laptops, as well as the

latest tablets and small form factor mobile systems, Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series offers high quality, reliable performance and low power consumption for space conscious computing using M.2, mSATA and 2.5” (7mm) form factors.

New Small Form Factor Introduction

The Intel SSD 530 Series product paves the way for thin and light computing devices by introducing the latest M.2 form factor.

Intel’s SSD M.2 form factor shrinks the total storage area significantly versus traditional 2.5” form factor storage devices.

Along with the M.2 form factor, Intel SSD 530 Series is also

available in mSATA and traditional 2.5” form factors enabling

the technology in a variety of solutions.

The Intel SSD 530 series product line comes in a wide range of capacities from 80GB to 480GB.

Latest NAND Technology

Intel® SSD 530 Series uses the latest 20nm Intel NAND technology.

You also benefit from the high quality and reliability you’ve come to expect from Intel. In addition to the power, space savings, reliability, and peace of mind, the Intel SSD 530 Series

is supported with Intel’s outstanding warranty and customer

support.
