Solidigm D3-S4520 480GB SATA SSD

The Solidigm D3-S4520 is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive with 480GB capacity. It connects via SATA III and uses 144L TLC 3D NAND to deliver sequential reads up to 550 MBps and writes up to 460 MBps. Random 4KB performance reaches 79,000 IOPS read and 30,000 IOPS write. Endurance is rated up to 2.8 DWPD or 2.5 PBW with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF.

Suits read-heavy servers and arrays

This drive fits read-intensive workloads such as web serving, content delivery or boot volumes where high random read IOPS and low 102µs read latency matter. The 2.8 DWPD endurance and 1.2W idle power help dense deployments. Builders who need higher sustained write throughput or larger capacities should look at other models.

Fits 2.5-inch SATA bays and backplanes

The standard 2.5-inch form factor slides into hot-swap trays, internal cages or direct-attached backplanes that accept SATA III. Active power peaks at 3W, leaving thermal headroom in crowded chassis. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C, and shock tolerance reaches 1,000 G at 0.5 msec. No extra cabling or adapters are required beyond a SATA data and power connection.

Questions about this item

Does my server need a 2.5 inch SATA III drive bay and SATA power cable for this 480GB SSD?

Yes, the drive uses a standard 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA III interface, so it requires a compatible 2.5 inch drive bay and both a SATA data cable and SATA power connector from your server or enclosure.

Will this SATA III SSD work in a system that only supports SATA II 3Gb/s speeds?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA II ports, but sequential read and write speeds will be limited to the 3Gb/s link rate instead of the rated 550 MBps read and 460 MBps write.

How can I verify the SSD is healthy after installation using its SMART data?

Check the SMART attributes for media wear indicator, total bytes written, and power-on hours; the drive is rated for up to 2.5 PBW and 2,000,000 hours MTBF, so low wear and error counts confirm normal operation.
