Intel DC S3520 480 GB SATA Enterprise SSD

The Intel DC S3520 SSDSC2BB480G701 is a 2.5 inch enterprise solid state drive with 480 GB capacity. It uses MLC memory and a SATA III interface to deliver consistent performance for read intensive workloads. Sequential reads reach 450 MBps while sequential writes reach 380 MBps.

Suited for read heavy server tasks.

This drive suits servers handling boot, web serving, low rate operational databases and analytics where read performance and data integrity matter. Random read IOPS reach 65,500 while random write IOPS reach 16,000. Builders needing higher write endurance or larger capacities should consider other models.

2.5 inch SATA III interface decides compatibility

The drive connects through a standard SATA III interface in a 2.5 inch form factor with 7.00 mm height. It requires a compatible drive bay and SATA data and power connections. Active power consumption is 3.2W and idle power is 0.5W. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 70°C.
