Intel SSDSC2KB240GZ1Z D3-S4520 240GB SATA 2.5 internal SSD

SKU CH-AP65-M9PEQ MPN SSDSC2KB240GZ1Z

A 240 GB 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive with 470 MB/s sequential read, 233 MB/s sequential write, 44000 IOPS random read and 15500 IOPS random write

  • 240 GB capacity stores more data
  • SATA 6 Gbps interface connects to existing systems
  • 470 MB/s sequential read accelerates file access
  • 233 MB/s sequential write speeds up saves
  • 44 000 random read IOPS improves responsiveness

Capacity and audience

The Intel D3-S4520 is a 240GB internal solid-state drive built for SATA-6Gbps interfaces. It suits system integrators and IT teams who need reliable flash storage for everyday workloads such as boot drives, logging or light database tiers.

Upgrade path

The drive replaces mechanical 2.5 inch hard disks in servers, workstations or embedded appliances where the SATA interface is already provisioned. The jump is worth it when random read performance of 44000 IOPS and a maximum read transfer rate of 470 Mbps cut latency enough to justify the swap.

Build fit

A standard 2.5 inch bay and a SATA power plus data connection are all the drive requires. Its 233 Gbps maximum write transfer rate and 15500 IOPS random write capability free up I/O headroom for mixed read-write workloads without demanding a new backplane or controller.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch D3-S4520 fit a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive bay?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor matches the standard 2.5-inch SATA bay used in most laptops and desktops.

What is the common mistake when installing this SATA-6Gbps SSD?

Connecting the drive to a 3Gbps SATA port instead of a 6Gbps port limits the 470Mbps maximum read speed.

How long will the 240GB D3-S4520 last before it needs replacement?

The drive is rated for 44000 random read IOPS and 15500 random write IOPS, so typical client workloads give several years of service.
