Read-intensive enterprise SSD

The Intel DC S4500 480GB drive is built for read-intensive server workloads. It uses 3D TLC NAND and a SATA 6Gb/s interface to replace legacy hard disks. The design targets lower power draw and fewer drive replacements in compatible Intel server systems.

2.5 inch form factor with SATA connectors

The 2.5 inch housing fits standard drive bays and backplanes using the SATA interface standard. Internal 256-bit encryption secures data at rest without extra software. The drive delivers up to 500 MBps sequential read and 330 MBps sequential write speeds.

Check server compatibility and workload fit

Verify that your server model appears in the supported systems list before ordering. This drive is optimised for read-intensive tasks with 921.60 TBW endurance; it is not suited for write-heavy applications. Confirm the SATA 6Gb/s backplane can provide the required throughput.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the SATA 6Gb/s interface cap this drive at?

The SATA 6Gb/s interface limits sequential reads to 500 MBps and writes to 330 MBps.

Will the 2.5" form factor and 0.3" height fit my server drive bay?

This drive uses a standard 2.5" form factor with a 0.3" z-height, matching common server hot-swap trays.

How do I install it in an Intel server, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a compatible hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch to secure the SATA connection.
