Intel DC S3500 160GB SATA SSD

The Intel DC S3500 SSDSC2BB160G401 is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive with a 160GB capacity. It uses MLC NAND flash and a SATA 3.0 6Gb/s interface for server and storage-array workloads. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 475 MBps and writes up to 175 MBps. It is built for environments that demand consistent low latency and high endurance.

Standard 2.5-inch SATA installation

The drive fits any 7.00mm 2.5-inch bay with a standard SATA data and power connector. No special drivers are required for mainstream operating systems. Alignment issues can appear if the partition start offset is not set to a 4KB boundary. The 2.5W active power draw is low, but the system backplane must still supply adequate current for simultaneous drive spin-up.

160GB capacity for read-heavy workloads

The 160GB capacity suits boot volumes, caching tiers and metadata storage where random reads dominate. Random read performance reaches 75,000 IOPS with 50 µs latency. Random writes peak at 7,500 IOPS and 65 µs latency, so sustained write-heavy databases will exhaust headroom quickly. The 2,000,000-hour MTBF and 1,000 G shock rating support continuous operation in dense racks.

Highlights

  • MLC NAND with 2,000,000-hour MTBF for enterprise-grade endurance
  • 5W active power draw for efficient server operation
  • 1,000 G shock resistance protects data in dense racks

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel DC S3500 SSDSC2BB160G401 is working as intended after installation?

Check that the SATA 3.0 6Gb/s link is active, then confirm sequential read speeds approach 475 MBps and write speeds near 175 MBps while random 4KB reads reach about 75000 IOPS and writes hit 7500 IOPS.

What comes in the box with the SSDSC2BB160G401 and what must I buy separately?

The drive ships in a brown box as a bare 2.5 inch 7.00mm unit; you will need a SATA data cable, a SATA power connection and a 2.5 inch drive bay or bracket if your chassis lacks one.

Which capacity of the DC S3500 series should I choose for my workload?

This model provides 160GB of 20nm MLC NAND; select it when your dataset fits within that space and you need the 2000000 hour MTBF and 1000 G shock rating of the enterprise line.
