![]() The use of Hynix NAND is of course interesting as Intel still has ownership of a NAND fab in cooperation with Micron. Under the hood, you will see that the Intel Pro 2500 makes use SK Hynix NAND as well as a SandForce controller. The inside of the drive is easily accessed by removing the four Phillips head screws on the top of the drive. The Intel Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series has the standard power and Serial ATA connectors, which is SATA3 (6Gb/s) and is backwards compatible with SATA, though with a bandwidth limitation. The Pro 2500 Series can be easily mounted with the two screw holes on each side of the drive. Its 7mm z-height allows it to support thinner notebook designs and other systems needing the smaller form factor. As is the case with its other SSDs, the faux silicon wafer sticker is also a nice touch. That said, Intel Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series have a very sleek, modern look with its greyish-silver, all metal enclosure. Like it did with the design of its consumer-branded SSDs last year, Intel has put its focus on a much nicer design for its enterprise-grade SSDs. ![]() Shock (operating and non-operating): 1,500 G/0.5 ms.Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): 1.2 million hours.Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER): Read and Write IOPS1 (Iometer Queue Depth 32).Sustained Sequential Write: up to 490MB/s.Sustained Sequential Read: up to 540MB/s.SATA 6Gb/s Bandwidth Performance: (Iometer Queue Depth 32).We will be looking at the 240GB 2.5 inch unit for this review. The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is available in a wide range of capacities and two different form factors 2.5 inch (120GB, 180GB, 240GB, 360GB, and, 480GB) and M.2 (180GB, 240GB, and 360GB). All drives are come with a 5-year warranty. ![]() This enables IT administrators to monitor and report the drive’s health, track assets, and remedy faults, which are incredibly useful features clients. Another major feature of the new Intel line is the ability to combine Intel vPro Technology, Intel Setup and Configuration Software, and security software, to enable the drive with remote manageability. To allow users to have policy-based control of this encryption, the Intel SSD Pro 2500 SSDs are compatible with TCG’s Opal version 2.0 features and they also support Microsoft eDrive. The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series uses hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption engine that encrypts and decrypts data without surrendering performance. For example, when the new Pro 2500 Series SSDs are combined with the Intel Core vPro Platform, Intel states that power consumption can be reduced by substantially: from milliwatts to microwatts. Intel's new Pro 2500 Series features quoted throughput up to 540MB/s and a random IOPs up to 80,000, all the while offering low-power modes to extend battery life and improve the mobility of the drives. While the Intel 730 SSDs are catered towards enthusiasts and the Intel 530's demographic is more mainstream consumer, the Pro 2500 series (and the Pro 1500 Series before it) are specifically architected for businesses who need to deploy a large number of drives into their organization. Intel Pro 2500 Series are SSDs designed largely for enterprise client solutions (desktops, notebooks) that require reliability, power-efficient performance, enhanced data security, and remote manageability.
