480GB SATA Enterprise SSD

The Intel DC S3500 SSDSC2BB480G4 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with a 480GB capacity. It connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface and uses MLC NAND flash memory. The drive is built for server and storage workloads that demand consistent endurance.

Suits read-heavy server workloads.

Sequential reads reach up to 500 MBps and sequential writes up to 410 MBps. Random 4KB reads hit 75,000 IOPS while writes reach 11,000 IOPS. Read latency is 50 µs and write latency is 65 µs. Buyers who need higher sustained write throughput or larger capacities should look at other enterprise drives.

2,000,000-hour MTBF defines reliability target

The mean time between failures is rated at 2,000,000 hours. Active power draw is 4.3W and idle power is 0.9W. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C. Shock resistance is rated at 1,000G at 0.5 msec and vibration resistance at 2.17 GRMS operating and 3.13 GRMS non-operating.

Questions about this item

How much power does the DC S3500 480GB draw when active all day?

Active power is 4.3W and idle power is 0.9W, so continuous operation stays in that range.

What host interface and physical bay does this 2.5" SATA SSD require?

It needs a SATA 3.0 6Gb/s port and a 2.5-inch drive bay with 7.0mm height clearance.

Will the SATA 6Gb/s interface limit this drive when paired with an older 3Gb/s controller?

The drive runs at SATA 3.0 speeds but is backward compatible; on a 3Gb/s link sequential throughput will be capped by the controller.
