Pro 2500 120GB SATA SSD

The Intel Pro 2500 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with 120GB capacity. It connects via the SATA interface and uses MLC memory components. The drive suits desktops or laptops that need a straightforward storage upgrade from a mechanical hard disk.

Upgrade from mechanical drives

Replacing a traditional hard disk with this SSD brings sequential read speeds up to 540 MBps and write speeds up to 490 MBps. Random read performance reaches 48,000 IOPS while random write reaches 80,000 IOPS. The jump is worth it when boot times, application launches and file copies feel sluggish on spinning media.

Capacity and headroom

At 120GB the drive holds the operating system, core applications and a modest working set of documents. Heavy media libraries, large game installs or extensive virtual machines will exceed the available space. Power draw stays low at 55 mW idle and 165 mW active, and the drive is rated for 1,200,000 hours MTBF.

Questions about this item

Will the 7.00mm height fit my 2.5-inch SATA bay?

Yes. The drive is 7.00mm tall, which matches the standard slim 2.5-inch form factor used in most laptops and desktops.

What is the correct way to connect the SATA data and power cables?

Align the L-shaped keys on both connectors, press straight in until they click, and ensure the SATA port in BIOS is set to AHCI mode for full performance.

When should I plan to replace the drive based on its endurance rating?

The MLC NAND and 1,200,000-hour MTBF indicate high endurance; monitor SMART attributes like media wearout indicator and replace when it approaches the threshold.
