  • Consistent 500 MBps sequential reads accelerate data access
  • 75,000 random read IOPS handle heavy transaction workloads
  • Low 0.9 W idle power reduces server energy draw
  • 7 mm slim 2.5" form factor fits dense drive bays

Enterprise SATA SSD for read-intensive workloads

The Intel DC S3500 is a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive built for servers and storage arrays that favour consistent read performance. Its 600GB capacity and SATA 3.0 6Gb/S interface suit mixed-use databases, virtualisation hosts and content-delivery nodes.

MLC endurance and power profile

Multi-level cell flash delivers a 2,000,000-hour MTBF alongside 0.9W idle and 4.5W active power draw. The drive tolerates 1,000G shock and 2.17 GRMS operating vibration, so it remains reliable in dense rack environments without extra cooling.

600GB headroom and latency limits

Sequential reads reach 500 MBps and writes 410 MBps, while 4KB randoms hit 75,000 read and 11,000 write IOPS with 50µs read and 65µs write latency. Workloads that exceed sustained write throughput or need sub-20µs latency will outgrow this drive.

Questions about this item

How often will the MLC NAND in the DC S3500 SSDSC2BB600G401 need replacement under normal write workloads?

The drive is rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF, and its MLC memory is built for enterprise endurance, so replacement is typically driven by capacity needs rather than cell wear.

Which limit appears first during sustained writes — the 410 MBps sequential ceiling or the 11,000 IOPS random write ceiling?

Sustained sequential writes hit the 410 MBps ceiling first, while random 4 KB writes saturate at 11,000 IOPS; the active power draw of 4.5 W stays constant in either case.

What are the noise, heat and power characteristics when the SSDSC2BB600G401 runs all day in a server?

Silent operation with no moving parts; active power is 4.5 W and idle power is 0.9 W, while the operating temperature range is 0 °C to 70 °C.
