DC S3500 480GB SATA SSD

The Intel DC S3500 is a 480GB internal solid state drive with a 2.5-inch form factor and a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It uses 20nm MLC NAND and is built for data-centre workloads that demand consistent read and write performance. The drive weighs 3.0000 grams and fits standard 2.5-inch bays in servers or workstations.

Suited for servers needing reliable SATA storage

This drive suits administrators upgrading or expanding SATA-based arrays where a 480GB capacity matches the workload. It is not for systems that require a PCIe interface, nor for builds that need capacities beyond 480GB.

Highlights

  • 480 GB capacity fits large data sets
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface enables fast transfers
  • 20 nm MLC technology delivers reliable endurance
  • 5 inch form factor suits standard bays

Questions about this item

How much sustained write throughput can the SATA 6Gb/s interface deliver before the 20 nm MLC NAND becomes the bottleneck?

The SATA 6Gb/s link caps sequential writes at roughly 500 MB/s, so the 20 nm MLC memory is rarely the limiting factor during sustained transfers.

What thermal load should I expect from the 2.5-inch S3500 when it runs continuous mixed workloads all day?

Typical active power stays around 3 W, so the drive produces modest heat and usually needs only normal chassis airflow.
