30 GB mSATA SSD for compact systems

The Intel 525 Series 30 GB mSATA drive fits laptops and small-form-factor desktops that accept a Mini-SATA module. MLC flash delivers up to 500 MB/s sequential read and 275 MB/s sequential write with 50,000 random read IOPS and 80,000 random write IOPS. AES 128-bit encryption and end-to-end data protection secure stored information. The 3.7 mm profile suits space-constrained builds.

Fits mSATA slots and frees 2.5-inch bays

The module installs directly into an mSATA connector on the motherboard or an adapter card, leaving any 2.5-inch drive bay available for additional storage. SATA III interface provides broad compatibility with existing chipsets. Low active power of 350 mW reduces demand on the system power budget. No cables are required beyond the slot itself.

Runs 0 °C to 70 °C with minimal heat and noise

Idle power is 275 mW and active power 350 mW, so the drive adds little thermal load inside a tight chassis. With no moving parts it produces no audible noise during operation. The controller is rated for 1,200,000 hours MTBF and withstands 1,000 G shock and up to 3.13 G non-operating vibration. Operating humidity range is 5 % to 95 % RH.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum power draw of the 30GB Intel 525 Series mSATA drive under sustained active workloads?

Active power consumption is rated at 350 mW, so sustained heavy writes will not exceed that figure.

How much heat and noise does the SSDMCEAC030B301 produce when running all day?

With no moving parts and a 350 mW active power rating, the drive generates minimal heat and zero audible noise during continuous operation.

Which motherboard slot is required for this mSATA SSD to function?

The drive needs a Mini-SATA (mSATA) slot with SATA III signalling; it will not fit a standard 2.5-inch bay or an M.2 key-M socket.
