Intel 530 Series 240GB SATA SSD

This internal solid-state drive provides 240GB of storage using MLC memory components. It connects via a SATA III interface and carries an MTBF rating of 1,200,000 hours. The drive is designed for consumer use in desktop or laptop systems.

Suits SATA-based upgrades; not for PCIe-only systems

This SSD fits builds that have an available SATA port and need a 240GB boot or storage volume. Buyers whose motherboards accept only PCIe storage should look at a different drive type. Systems without a SATA connection cannot use this product.

SATA III interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA III interface. A free SATA data port and matching power connector are required for installation. Without a SATA connection this drive will not work.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel 530 Series 240GB SSD require a SATA III port and a free 2.5-inch drive bay to install?

Yes, the drive connects through a standard SATA III interface and fits a typical 2.5-inch internal bay, so the system needs both a compatible port and physical space.

Will the SATA III interface on this Intel 530 Series drive work with an older motherboard that only supports SATA II?

The SATA III interface is backward compatible, so the SSD will operate on a SATA II port at the older standard's maximum transfer rate.

How can I confirm the Intel 530 Series 240GB SSD is healthy after installation?

Use a SMART monitoring tool to check that the drive reports its 240GB capacity, identifies as model SSDSCKHW240A401, and shows no reallocated or pending sectors.
