Description
Intel Solid-State Drives (Intel SSDs) are more reliable and consume less power than traditional hard drives. They also clock in with faster boot times, application launches, file loads, sleep recovery, and benchmarks. This means that improved performance, increased reliability, and lower operating costs are just a few of the benefits you’ll reap when using Intel Solid-State Drives.
Highlights:
- 2.5"
- 480GB
- SATA III
- Low power and space conscious form factors
- AES - 256 bit encryption
- 16nm TLC NAND
- Intel quality and reliability
Accelerating Your Performance
The 540s Series accelerates platform performance with sequential reads of up to 560 MBps and sequential writes of up to 480MBps, and random read and write input/output operations (IOPS) of up to 78K and 85K respectively.
Performance that Matters
The 540s Series is architected to optimize performance for a 70%/ 30% 4KB random read/write mixed work load, the most utilized workload across common applications, delivering performance where it matters.
TLC Done Right
Utilizing a uniquely architected combination of single level cell (SLC) cache and triple level cell (TLC) NAND Flash Memory, the 540s Series delivers an optimized balance of performance and value.
Encryption Technology to Secure Your Data
The 540s Series features AES 256-bit encryption technology to encrypt your data and help keep your personal files secure.
Lower Power Consumption
Managing tasks efficiently, the 540s Series reduces the drain on your battery. It reduces idle consumption by >90%, compared to a typical hard drive disk, reducing power consumption from watts to milliwatts. When coupled with a 6th Gen Intel Core-based platform, the advanced power mode settings reduce power consumption another order of magnitude - from milliwatts to microwatts.
Flexibility for Any Solution
The 540s Series is the first Intel 5 Series drive to deliver up to 1 TB of storage capacity. Available in both the 2.5" and M.2 80mm form factors, and with storage capacities ranging from 120 GB to 1 TB, the 540s Series accelerates performance across a variety of computing devices.
