2.5" 240GB SATA SSD for consumer use

The Intel Pro 5400s is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive with a 240GB capacity. It connects through a SATA III interface rated at 600 MBps. The drive uses TLC memory built on 16nm lithography and includes hardware based AES 256-bit encryption. It is designed for consumer workloads in standard drive bays.

Sustained load behaviour and endurance

Under continuous operation the drive draws a typical 90 mW active power and 50 mW at idle. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C. The controller maintains read and write latency at 50 µs. Endurance is rated at a mean time between failures of 1,600,000 hours, reflecting steady state reliability rather than short burst peaks.

Practical limits of the SATA interface

Sequential throughput caps at 560 MBps read and 480 MBps write, which sits at the ceiling of the SATA 3.0 6Gbps link. Random performance reaches 74,000 IOPS read and 85,000 IOPS write for 4KB blocks. These figures represent the practical boundary of the interface, so the drive cannot exceed them regardless of workload intensity.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Intel Pro 5400s draw when the system is idle all day?

The drive typically draws 50 mW at idle and 90 mW during active use, so heat output stays very low even after hours of continuous operation.

What connection does the 2.5 inch Intel Pro 5400s need on my motherboard?

It requires a standard SATA 3.0 6Gb/s port and a matching SATA power connector from the power supply.

Will the SATA 3.0 interface on the Intel Pro 5400s bottleneck an older chipset limited to 3Gb/s?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s ports; sequential speeds will simply scale down to the link limit while random performance and latency remain unchanged.
