Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series (2.5-inch)  
1 Introduction  
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State Drive 530 Series  
(Intel® SSD 530 Series).  
The Intel SSD 530 Series delivers the next generation storage solution with new low power features  
designed for Ultrabook™. The next generation Intel SSD continues to provide high performance  
expected for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)-based computers.  
The industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor enables interchangeability with existing hard disk drives  
(HDDs) and native SATA HDD drop-in replacement with the enhanced performance, reliability, and  
ruggedness offered by an SSD.  
The latest feature addition is the DevSleep functionality, a low power drive state controlled by the host  
via the DevSleep pin. The drive will consume a mere 5 mW while in this state.  
As compared to standard SATA HDDs, Intel SSD 530 Series offers these key features:  
High I/O and throughput performance  
Low power consumption  
Increased system responsiveness  
High reliability  
Enhanced ruggedness  
The Intel SSD 530 Series also offers additional key features such as:  
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit Encryption  
AES 256-bit encryption is an industry standard in data security, providing a hardware-based  
mechanism for encryption and decryption of user data. Utilizing a 256-bit encryption key, AES  
encryption—when combined with an ATA drive password—helps protect user data.  
End-to-End Data Protection  
End-to-end data protection helps protect data from being corrupted across the data path by using  
cyclic redundancy check (CRC), parity, and error correction code (ECC) checks in the data path from  
the host interface to the NAND, and back.  
Data Compression  
Data compression helps improve performance and endurance by automatically compressing  
information sent to the SSD so that less data has to be processed and stored on the NAND. The  
amount of data that can be compressed depends on the type of data.

Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER)  
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified  
number of bits read. In the unlikely event of a non-recoverable read error,  
the SSD will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is  
considered corrupt and is not returned to the host.

Pins P1, P2 and P3 are connected together; Pins P13, P14 and P15 are connected together. Although they are not  
connected internally to the device, the host may apply voltage on these pins.

Ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5 V power pin P7.  
Signal pins and the rest of the 5 V power pins P8-P9.

Ground connectors P4 and P12 may contact before the other 1st mate pins in both the power and signal connectors to  
discharge ESD in a suitably configured backplane connector.

4.3  
Device Sleep Feature  
Device Sleep (or DevSleep/DEVSLP) is the latest feature aligned with Intel® 4th Generation Core™-  
based Ultrabook™. Ultrabook™ has stringent power requirements for SSDs and as such requires an  
ability to put the drive in a low power state. Although Link Power Management allows some control  
over power consumption, both methods still require the SATA link to remain online. The DevSleep pin  
is an enable high pin which is pulled up by the drive

Power-On Hours Count  
The raw value reports two values: the first  
4 bytes report the cumulative number of  
power-on hours over the life of the device,  
the remaining bytes report the number of  
milliseconds since the last hour increment.  
The On/Off status of the Device Initiated  
Power Management (DIPM) feature will  
affect the number of hours reported. If DIPM  
is turned On, the recorded value for  
power-on hours does not include the time  
that the device is in a "slumber" state. If  
DIPM is turned Off, the recorded value for  
power-on hours should match the clock  
time, as all three device states are counted:  
active, idle and slumber.

Host Writes  
The raw value of this attribute reports the total  
number of sectors written by the host system.  
The raw value is increased by 1 for every 65,536  
sectors (32 MB) written by the host.  
Timed Workload Media Wear  
Measures the wear seen by the SSD (since reset  
of the workload timer, attribute E4h), as a  
percentage of the maximum rated cycles.  
Timed Workload Host Read/Write Ratio

read operations (since reset of the workload  
timer, attribute E4h).

Available Reserved Space  
This attribute reports the number of reserve  
blocks remaining. The normalized value begins at  
100 (64h), which corresponds to 100 percent  
availability of the reserved space. The threshold  
value for this attribute is 10 percent availability.

This attribute reports the number of cycles the  
NAND media has undergone. The normalized value  
declines linearly from 100 to 1 as the average  
erase cycle count increases from 0 to the  
maximum rated cycles.  
Once the normalized value reaches 1, the number  
will not decrease, although it is likely that  
significant additional wear can be put on the  
device.

SMART Logs  
The Intel SSD 530 Series implements the following Log Addresses: 00h, 02h, 03h, 06h, and 07h.  
The Intel SSD 530 Series implements host vendor specific logs (addresses 80h-9Fh) as read and write  
scratchpads, where the default value is zero (0). Intel SSD 530 Series does not write any specific  
values to these logs unless directed by the host through the appropriate commands.  
The Intel SSD 530 Series also implements a device vendor specific log at address A9h as a read-only  
log area with a default value of zero (0).  
5.5  
Device Statistics  
In addition to the SMART attribute structure, statistics pertaining to the operation and health of the  
Intel SSD 530 Series can be reported to the host on request through the Device Statistics log as  
defined in the ATA specification.  
The Device Statistics log is a read-only GPL/SMART log located at read log address 0x04 and is  
accessible using READ LOG EXT, READ LOG DMA EXT or SMART READ LOG commands.  
The table below lists the Device Statistics supported by the Intel SSD 530 Series.
