Intel 525 Series 60GB mSATA SSD

The Intel 525 Series is a 60GB mSATA internal solid-state drive built with MLC memory for consumer laptops and small-form-factor desktops. It connects through a Mini-SATA interface and fits into mSATA slots without adapters. The lightweight design weighs under 10 grams.

60GB capacity and performance headroom

Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s and writes reach 475 MB/s. Random 4KB performance delivers up to 50,000 read IOPS and up to 80,000 write IOPS. The 60GB capacity suits operating systems and core applications; heavier media libraries will require additional storage.

Thermals noise and power draw

With no moving parts the drive runs silently in normal use. Solid-state construction keeps heat output low inside tight chassis. Hardware-based 128-bit encryption and end-to-end data protection operate without adding measurable power draw or thermal load.

Questions about this item

Will this mSATA drive work in a laptop that only has a SATA II slot?

The drive uses a SATA III interface and is backward compatible with SATA II slots, though sequential speeds will be limited to the older standard's maximum.

How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 50,000 IOPS random read performance after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD using a 4 KB random read test and compare the reported IOPS figure to the 50,000 IOPS specification.

Does the retail box include a mounting screw or adapter bracket for the mSATA slot?

The drive weighs under 10 grams and ships as the bare mSATA module; mounting screws and any required adapters are supplied by the system or laptop manufacturer.
