1.6TB SATA enterprise SSD for data centres

The Intel DC S3500 SSDSC2BB016T401 is a 2.5-inch solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays that demand consistent read performance and strong data protection. Its SATA 3.0 6Gb/s interface and MLC NAND suit read-intensive workloads such as virtual client deployments, big data analytics and video conferencing platforms.

Sustained performance under load

Sequential reads reach up to 500 MBps and writes up to 450 MBps, while 4KB random reads hit 65,000 IOPS and random writes 14,600 IOPS. Read latency averages 55 µs and write latency 65 µs, with a tight distribution that maintains quality of service during prolonged heavy I/O. Active power draw is 5.2W and idle power 0.5W, and the drive is rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF across a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Upgrade path from smaller SATA SSDs

The 1.6TB capacity replaces lower-capacity SATA enterprise drives when data sets outgrow 800GB or when a single drive must consolidate multiple volumes. The jump is worth it for arrays that need higher endurance MLC flash and full end-to-end data protection without moving to a different interface or form factor.

Questions about this item

What are the idle and active power figures for the Intel DC S3500 1.6TB SATA drive?

Idle power is 0.5W and active power is 5.2W, so sustained operation stays within a low thermal envelope.

Does the Intel DC S3500 1.6TB need a 2.5-inch SATA bay and a 6 Gb/s SATA cable to install?

Yes, it uses a standard 2.5-inch 7 mm form factor and connects via SATA 3.0 6 Gb/s, so a compatible bay and cable are required.

Will the Intel DC S3500 1.6TB work in an older server that only supports SATA 3 Gb/s?

The SATA 3.0 6 Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 3 Gb/s ports, though sequential speeds will be limited by the slower link.
