Suits mSATA slots needing 240GB MLC storage

This drive suits systems with an mSATA slot that require 240GB of MLC flash storage over a SATA III link. It is not suitable for devices that only accept 2.5-inch SATA drives or M.2 modules. Buyers needing capacities beyond 240GB should consider other models.

mSATA form factor decides fit

The mSATA form factor is the single specification that determines whether this drive fits the target device. Only platforms with a dedicated mSATA connector can use this SSD. Verify the slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What type of motherboard slot is required for the mSATA form factor of this Intel 530 Series drive?

The drive needs a dedicated mSATA slot on the motherboard; it will not fit a standard 2.5-inch bay or an M.2 socket.

Can this SATA III SSD operate on an older motherboard that only supports SATA II speeds?

Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible and will run at SATA II transfer rates on such a board.

How can I verify the 240GB capacity is recognised correctly after installation?

Check the drive size in BIOS or the operating system disk management tool; it should report approximately 240GB.
