Similar to previous Intel SSDs sharing the same case design, its 7mm z-height makes it compatible with thinner notebook designs and other systems needing the smaller form factor. As such, the Intel 530 240GB has a very nice, modern look to it in terms of design with its silver colored all metal enclosure, with a dash of color with the faux circuit board sticker.
One of the small things about the new 530 series is that it appears Intel is now taking the design of its consumer-branded SSDs up a notch. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): 1,200,000 hours.Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER): Sustained Sequential Write: up to 490MB/s.Sustained Sequential Read: up to 540MB/s.We are reviewing the 240GB 2.5” 7mm unit. All of the Intel 530 SSDs ship with a five-year warranty. The mSATA and M.2 models are limited to in 80GB, 120GB, 180GB and 360GB. The 2.5-inch version comes in 80GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB, 360GB and 480GB capacities. The M.2 SSDs, mSATA and 2.5-models all use the Serial ATA 600 interface. The Intel SSD 530 Series also offers key features such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit Encryption to protect user data, End-to-End Data Protection, and Data Compression to help improve performance and endurance by automatically compressing information sent to the SSD. Additionally, the maximum 4k random IOPS is 41,000 and 80,000 for reading and writing respectively. With those performance numbers– a tad lower than other SandForce-based SSDs–it’s clear that Intel’s new 530 line is catered towards a more mainstream consumer base rather than for the maximum possible transfer rates. As was the case with their previous series, Intel has optimized the SandForce firmware to deliver a combination of performance and reliability.Įvery Intel 530 SSD is quoted to have a maximum read speed of 540 MB/s and a write speed of 490 MB/s. The 530 series also consolidates Intel's various form factors which previously carried different model numbers.14 new products don the SSD 530 brand in a variety of different form factors standard 2.5", mSATA and M.2. Intel launched the SSD 530 series as a progressive update on their SSD 520 line, moving away from the 25nm NAND flash and incorporating new SandForce silicon with 20nm flash for more efficient power consumption.
