Dell DC S3500 480GB 2.5" SATA SSD

This Dell DC S3500 solid-state drive delivers 480GB of storage in a 2.5-inch form factor with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It is designed as a hot-swap component for compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. The drive uses read-intensive endurance technology suited for workloads that prioritise frequent data retrieval. It arrives in new condition with original Dell part number 334TT.

Suits read-heavy server roles.

This SSD fits administrators upgrading or maintaining supported PowerEdge models such as the R320, R420, R430, R520, R610, R530, R720, R720xd, R730, R730xd, T320, T420, T430, T620 and T630. Its read-intensive NAND makes it a poor match for applications that demand sustained high write throughput. Buyers needing greater write endurance or a different capacity should evaluate alternative drives. Hot-swap capability requires a compatible server chassis.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive connects exclusively through a SATA 6.0Gb/s (SATA/300) port and fits a standard 2.5-inch drive bay. Verify that the target server lists the 334TT part number in its qualified hardware list before purchase. The read-intensive endurance rating and hot-swap design are fixed characteristics of this specific model. No other interface or form factor is supported by this unit.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s DC S3500 fit a hot-swap tray in a PowerEdge R720?

The drive is a 2.5" form factor with SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and hot-swap capability, matching the drive bays in the listed PowerEdge R720 and other compatible servers.

What is the correct way to install this DC S3500 into a hot-swap bay, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the bay until the connector seats firmly, then close the handle to lock it; the step often missed is verifying the activity LED lights up, confirming the SATA link is active.

The DC S3500 is read-intensive — what maintenance or replacement should I plan for?

As a read-intensive SSD, it handles heavy read workloads well; plan replacement when SMART attributes show media wear approaching the rated endurance limit for the 480GB capacity.
