240GB SATA Enterprise SSD

The Intel DC S3500 SSDSC2BB240G401 is a 2.5 inch enterprise solid-state drive with 240GB capacity. It uses MLC memory and a SATA 3.0 6Gb/S interface. The drive is built for server and storage workloads that demand consistent endurance.

Suits read-heavy server tiers

This drive suits read-heavy server tiers, logging arrays and boot volumes where random read IOPS of 75000 matter. It is not for write-intensive databases or high-capacity archives that exceed 240GB. Buyers who need higher sustained write throughput or larger single-drive capacity should look at something else.

75000 random read IOPS

The 4KB random read rating of 75000 IOPS is the specification that decides fit. It determines whether the drive can service the queue depths typical of virtualised hosts and metadata workloads. If your workload centres on sequential throughput or heavy write cycles, this figure shows the limitation.

Questions about this item

Will the 7.00mm height fit my 2.5" drive bay?

Yes, the 7.00mm height matches the standard 2.5" form factor and fits any bay that accepts a 2.5" SATA drive.

What is the correct way to connect the SATA 3.0 6Gb/S interface, and what step is often missed?

Attach both the SATA data cable and the SATA power cable; the step often missed is securing the power connector fully so the drive receives the 3.1W active power it needs.

How do I know when the MLC NAND is nearing its write endurance limit?

Monitor the SMART attributes for media wearout indicator or total bytes written; the drive is rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF under enterprise workloads.
