3.5" SATA 960 GB enterprise SSD

The Lenovo ThinkSystem S4520 is a 3.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays. It delivers 960 GB of capacity through a SATA III 6 Gbps interface using 144-layer 3D NAND TLC flash. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 510 MBps.

Read-intensive workloads, not write-heavy tasks

This drive suits read-intensive applications such as boot volumes, web servers, operational databases and analytics where reads dominate. Builders who need higher write endurance or mixed-use endurance for databases, logging or virtualization should look at a different drive class.

144-layer 3D NAND TLC with SATA III interface

The combination of 144-layer 3D NAND TLC memory and a 6 Gbps SATA interface determines both the read-intensive endurance rating and the 550 MBps sequential read ceiling. Match the interface and workload profile to your server backplane before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 3.5" S4520 960GB draw during sustained 550 MBps reads all day?

The SATA III interface limits the drive to 6 Gbps, so power draw stays within standard 3.5" SATA SSD limits during continuous 550 MBps read workloads.

Which server drive bay and backplane must I already have to install this 3.5" hot-swap SATA SSD?

You need a 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bay wired for SATA III 6 Gbps and a compatible backplane that accepts the S4520's standard SATA connector.

Will the S4520 960GB work alongside older S4510 drives in the same RAID array?

Yes, both use the same SATA III interface and 3.5" form factor, so they can share a RAID array, though the S4520 offers higher endurance than the S4510.
