Slim Specs Table

Ultra-compact M.2 design for space-constrained builds

Measuring just 22 mm wide, 80 mm long, and weighing only 10 g, the MS30 fits seamlessly into thin laptops, mini PCs, and embedded devices where space is at a premium. Its M.2 SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility across modern motherboards and laptops without requiring PCIe lanes, making it a drop-in upgrade for systems limited to SATA storage.

Smart Response Technology support for faster HDD systems

The MS30 supports Intel Smart Response Technology, allowing it to act as a cache drive alongside a larger HDD. This setup accelerates boot times and frequently used applications, delivering near-SSD responsiveness while maintaining high-capacity HDD storage—ideal for users who need both speed and space without replacing their existing drive.

Advanced endurance and reliability features

Built with advanced garbage collection, wear leveling, and TRIM command support, the MS30 maintains consistent performance over its lifetime. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,500,000 hours and operating temperature range of 0–70 °C, it’s engineered for reliability in typical desktop and mobile environments.

Power-efficient operation for longer battery life

The MS30 incorporates next-generation power-saving functions, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional HDDs. This efficiency translates to longer battery life in laptops and lower power draw in always-on embedded systems, making it a smart choice for mobile and energy-conscious applications.
