Intel 320 Series 80GB SATA II SSD

The Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW080G310 is an 80GB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and notebooks. It uses a SATA II interface and Intel 25nm MLC NAND flash memory. The drive serves as a direct replacement for mechanical hard drives in systems with standard SATA connectors.

Thermals noise and power draw

Typical idle power consumption is 100 mW and active power consumption is 150 mW. With no moving parts the drive produces no acoustic noise during operation. Solid-state construction also provides shock resistance up to 1500G and an MTBF of 1,200,000 hours for reliable long-term use.

Build fit and system impact

The 9.5mm height and 2.5-inch form factor match standard drive bays in laptops and desktops. Weighing 0.19 lbs it adds minimal mass to portable systems. Low power draw reduces demand on the system power supply and helps extend battery life in mobile devices.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 2.5 inch SATA drive, and which step do people often miss?

Mount the drive in a 2.5 inch bay or use a bracket for a 3.5 inch bay, connect the SATA data cable to a SATA 300 port and the SATA power cable, then enable AHCI in the BIOS before installing the operating system.

What maintenance or replacement will this MLC SSD need over time?

The MLC NAND has a finite write endurance; monitor the SMART wear-level indicator and plan replacement when it approaches the rated limit, as the drive has no user-serviceable parts.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy writes on this 80 GB model?

Sustained sequential write speed caps at 90 MBps, so long large-file transfers will hit that throughput ceiling before the 270 MBps read limit or the 150 mW active power envelope become factors.
