Does it support encryption and power protection?

Yes, features AES-128 bit full disk encryption for data security and enhanced power loss management to prevent data corruption during outages. Ideal for mission-critical server environments.

What is the form factor and interface?

2.5-inch SFF form factor with SATA II 3Gb/s interface (SATA 2.6 compliant). Compatible with standard laptop, desktop, and server bays supporting SATA drives.

What is the endurance and reliability rating?

Rated for 1,200,000 hours MTBF, with 1500G/0.5ms shock resistance and 3.13 GRMS non-operating vibration. MLC NAND ensures balanced endurance for enterprise read/write mixes.

What power consumption should I expect?

Idle power is 100mW (DIPM) or 0.7W (non-DIPM); active peaks at 150mW (MobileMark) or 3.0W (64K seq write). Efficient for dense, power-sensitive data center deployments.

Product overview

The Intel SSDSA2BW160G3H from the 320 Series is an enterprise-class solid-state drive optimized for server and storage applications. Featuring 160GB capacity with Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND on 25nm process, it supports SATA II 3Gb/s interface in a compact 2.5-inch form factor. Key performance includes sequential reads up to 270 MB/s, writes up to 165 MB/s, 4KB random reads up to 39,000 IOPS, and writes up to 21,000 IOPS. Enhanced reliability comes from 1,200,000-hour MTBF, AES-128 bit full disk encryption, power loss protection, and robust shock/vibration resistance (1500G shock, 3.13 GRMS non-op vibration). Low power draw (0.1W idle, 3W active) suits dense rack deployments. Ideal for boot drives, caching, or high-endurance workloads in data centers, reducing latency and boosting IOPS over HDDs while maintaining cost efficiency.
