Intel 320 Series 160GB SATA SSD

The Intel 320 Series SSDSA2BW160G3H-S is a 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive with 160GB capacity. It uses MLC NAND and a SATA II interface for consumer desktop or laptop upgrades. The drive includes AES 128-bit full-disk encryption and enhanced power-loss management for data protection. It is a manufacturer-recertified unit suited for general storage or boot duties.

Thermals noise and power draw

Idle power is 100mW with DIPM or 0.7W without it, while active draw reaches 150mW under a MobileMark 2007 workload and 3.0W during 64K sequential writes. The operating temperature range spans 0°C to 70°C with no moving parts to generate acoustic noise. Shock resistance is rated at 1,500G for 0.5 milliseconds and vibration tolerance covers 2.17 GRMS operating and 3.13 GRMS non-operating.

Upgrade path from mechanical drives

Replacing a 2.5 inch hard drive with this SSD removes mechanical latency and raises sequential read to 270 MBps and write to 165 MBps. Random 4KB performance reaches 39,000 IOPS read and 21,000 IOPS write for snappier application launches. The jump is worth it when faster boot times, quieter operation and lower power draw matter more than maximum capacity.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5 inch SATA drive fit in my laptop's standard drive bay?

The drive measures 7.00 mm high and uses the 2.5 inch form factor, matching most laptop and desktop SATA bays.

Does the SATA II interface limit performance on a modern motherboard?

The controller delivers up to 270 MBps read and 165 MBps write over SATA II, so the drive will run at its rated speed on any SATA port.

What power draw should I expect during heavy write workloads?

Active power reaches 3.0 W during 64 K sequential writes, well within typical SATA power limits.
