Introduction

This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series (Intel®
SSD Pro 2500 Series).
The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series delivers the next generation of Professional storage solution with enhanced security
and manageability features, power-efficient performance, and lower total cost of ownership. The latest generation
of the Intel® SSD Professional Family supports Trusted Computing Group* (TCG*) Opal version 2.0 features and is
Microsoft eDrive* capable, although “off” is the eDrive factory default out-of-box setting. The industry-standard
thin 7mm 2.5-inch form factor is interchangeable with existing SATA hard disk drives (HDDs). In addition, Intel’s
proven reliability and low power consumption provide an enhanced mobile experience.
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series also offers the following additional key features:
 Security and Manageability Features
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is a hardware-based self-encrypting drive (SED) enhanced with Opal 2.0* security
features. The TCG Opal specification describes a secure boot capability (pre-boot authentication), protection for
user data, and administrative capabilities, improving security of critical data at rest. Manageability options are
expanded when the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is coupled with the latest Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor systems and
software such as Intel® Set-up & Configuration Service (Intel® SCS) with the Intel® SSD Pro Plug-in. Offering unique
manageability options, IT Administrators can proactively manage the Intel® Solid-State Drive Professional Family
and reduce deployment costs while keeping their PCs running smoothly.
 Quality and Reliability Capabilities
Quality and reliability are the cornerstones of Intel® SSD Products and the Intel SSD Pro 2500 is no different.
Limiting employee down-time is critical; the reliability of the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is key for Low Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO).
 Power-Efficient Performance
The new advanced low power modes enable longer battery life and greater mobility. In addition, the Intel SSD Pro
2500 Series provides higher performance throughput for the most demanding workloads.


Stability

Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is part of the Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP). Intel SIPP aligns key Intel
platform components, enabling a predictable transition from one technology generation to the next with minimal
compatibility issues. Enhancing software and hardware stability, Intel SIPP aligns with key Intel platform
components and drivers and is currently available for at least 15 months post platform Intel SIPP availability.


Tools

Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series is aligned with the latest version of the Intel® SSD Toolbox for consumers and the Intel®
SSD Pro Administrator Tool for business and IT professionals. Intel tools provide key capabilities to maximize your
Intel SSD experience. (Visit www.intel.com/ssd to access the Tools panel for download.)

Please contact your Intel representative for details on the non-operating temperature range.
Temperature gradient measured without condensation.
Shock specifications assume SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the drive-mounting
screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Shock specification is measured using peak acceleration and
pulse width value.
Vibration specifications assume the SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the drive-mounting
screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Vibration specification is measured using G Root Mean
Squared (GRMS) value.

Altitude

The drive is not sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure because it has no moving parts. Drive
tested under non-operational conditions to pressures representative of -1 K and +40 K feet.

Reliability

The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series meets or exceeds SSD endurance and data retention requirements as specified in
the JESD218 specification.
Table 10:

Reliability Specifications
Parameter

Value

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.

< 1 sector per 1016 bits read

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
Mean Time Between Failures is estimated based on Telcordia* methodology and
demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT).

≥ 1.2 million hours

Minimum Useful Life/Endurance Rating
The SSD will have a minimum of five years of useful life under typical client workloads
with up to 20 GB of host writes per day.

5 years

Insertion Cycles
Maximum insertion/removal cycles on 2.5-inch port

250 insertion/removal cycles

Hot Plug Support

Hot Plug insertion and removal is supported in the presence of a proper connector and appropriate operation
system, as described in the SATA 3.2 specification.
This product supports asynchronous signal recovery and issues an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a
powered connector to enable detection by a host system without hardware device detection.

All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (0.050-inch) pitch.
Pins P1 and P2 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.
The mating sequence is:
- Ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5V power pin P7.
- Signal pins and the rest of the 5V 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.
Power pins P7, P8, and P9 are internally connected to one another within the device.
The host may ground P11 if it is not used for Device Activity Signal (DAS).

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.

TCG Opal SSC Support

The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series drive is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) that supports the TCG Opal SSC Specification
Version 2.0 rev 1.0 mandatory commands along with the following features:
 PSID (Physical presence Security ID) Revert for SSD Repurposing
 AES mode: XTS-AES 256-bit
 FIPS 197 compliant
Once Opal is activated by user (Locking SP in “Manufactured” state), per Opal specification, ATA Security Features
are not supported by the drive. Word 82, bit 1 and Word 128, bit 0 will indicate
no support (bit = 0). Host should not attempt any ATA Security Features when Opal is activated.

Device Statistics

In addition to the SMART attribute structure, statistics pertaining to the operation and health of the Intel SSD Pro
2500 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.

DevSleep

Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series supports the DevSleep feature. DevSleep must be enabled on the device by the
host system through the SET FEATURES command. If DevSleep is enabled by the host, the host must drive
the DevSleep signal to proper assert/de-assert voltage levels according to the SATA specification. Entry into
DevSleep must be preceded by LPM slumber entry by host and device. The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series also
supports DevSleep_to_ReducedPwrState which allows the host to wake the drive using normal LPM COMWAKE
out-of-band signaling.
For the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series, the recommended total time to DevSleep for system active state is 6 sec.
The AHCI* controller has 4 parameters used to define proper DevSleep operation between the host and drive.
The following table provides those recommended values for the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series drive.

SMART Command Transport

With SMART Command Transport (SCT), a host can send commands and data to an SSD and receive status and

 Log Address E0h ("SCT Command/Status") — used to send commands and retrieve status
 Log Address E1h ("SCT Data Transfer") — used to transport data

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.
