Low-power state support requires the drive to perform bookkeeping activity in the background for data loss protection and faster resume from low-power states. This adds a factor to the write amplification...

...The power saving modes in the Intel® SSD 530 Series and Intel® SSD 535 Series products can also add extra background write operations before taking the drive into a lower power state. If the drive transitions into lower power and then wakes up often, the number of background operations can increase. In effect, write amplification increases...

High Write Amplification is typically observed when there are fewer host writes and/or the drive goes through many idle cycles with no host activity. Bookkeeping tasks to preserve the drive’s state during idle time result in a higher write amplification.

We have introduced a solution that addresses the high WA concern of some customers. You may see some impact to battery life based on usage behavior.
