Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series (2.5-inch)  
1 Introduction  
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series  
(Intel® SSD 530 Series).  
The Intel SSD 530 Series delivers the next generation storage solution with new low power features  
designed for Ultrabook™. The next generation Intel SSD continues to provide high performance  
expected for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)-based computers.  
The industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor enables interchangeability with existing hard disk drives  
(HDDs) and native SATA HDD drop-in replacement with the enhanced performance, reliability, and  
ruggedness offered by an SSD.  
The latest feature addition is the DevSleep functionality, a low power drive state controlled by the host  
via the DevSleep pin. The drive will consume a mere 5 mW while in this state.  
As compared to standard SATA HDDs, Intel SSD 530 Series offers these key features:  
High I/O and throughput performance  
Low power consumption  
Increased system responsiveness  
High reliability  
Enhanced ruggedness  
The Intel SSD 530 Series also offers additional key features such as:  
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit Encryption  
AES 256-bit encryption is an industry standard in data security, providing a hardware-based  
mechanism for encryption and decryption of user data. Utilizing a 256-bit encryption key, AES  
encryption—when combined with an ATA drive password—helps protect user data.  
End-to-End Data Protection  
End-to-end data protection helps protect data from being corrupted across the data path by using  
cyclic redundancy check (CRC), parity, and error correction code (ECC) checks in the data path from  
the host interface to the NAND, and back.  
Data Compression  
Data compression helps improve performance and endurance by automatically compressing  
information sent to the SSD so that less data has to be processed and stored on the NAND. The  
amount of data that can be compressed depends on the type of data.

Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER)  
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified  
number of bits read. In the unlikely event of a non-recoverable read error,  
the SSD will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is  
considered corrupt and is not returned to the host.  
< 1 sector per 1016 bits read  
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)  
Mean Time Between Failures is estimated based on Telcordia*  
methodology and demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration Test  
(RDT).  
≥ 1.2 million hours  
Minimum Useful Life/Endurance Rating

Hot Plug Support  
Hot Plug insertion and removal is supported in the presence of a proper connector and appropriate  
operation system, as described in the SATA 3.0 specification.  
This product supports asynchronous signal recovery and issues an unsolicited COMINIT when first  
mated with a powered connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host system without hardware  
device detection.
