Intel 530 Series 80GB SATA SSD

This 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive uses MLC NAND and a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is intended for consumer desktops or laptops that accept a standard 7.0 mm drive bay. The 80GB capacity suits a boot drive or a focused application install.

SATA 6Gb/s interface limits

The SATA 6Gb/s link caps sequential throughput at 540 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write. Random 4KB performance reaches 24,000 IOPS read and 80,000 IOPS write. Latency sits at 80 µs read and 85 µs write. The drive draws 0.05 W idle and 0.14 W active.

7.0 mm 2.5" build with MLC endurance

The metal enclosure measures 7.0 mm thick and weighs up to 78.0 g, fitting typical laptop caddies and desktop brackets. MLC memory contributes to a 1,200,000-hour MTBF and an uncorrectable bit error rate below one sector per 10^16 bits read. Vibration tolerance is rated at 2.17G operating and 3.13G non-operating across 5-700 Hz, with 1500G shock resistance at 0.5 ms.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the Intel 530 Series should I choose for a boot drive?

The 80 GB model uses MLC NAND and delivers 540 MB/s sequential read, 480 MB/s sequential write, plus 24,000 random read IOPS and 80,000 random write IOPS.

What do the 540 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write figures mean once the SSD is installed?

They represent the maximum sequential transfer rates the drive can sustain over SATA, so large file copies and OS loads will approach those speeds in practice.

What does the SATA 6Gb/s interface cap in real use?

The SATA 6Gb/s link sets the bus ceiling; this drive reaches 540 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write, operating near the interface limit.
