  • Enhanced power loss protection prevents data loss during outages

Enterprise SATA SSD for write-intensive workloads

The Intel DC S3710 series delivers a 2.5 inch form factor with a 400GB capacity built on MLC flash. It targets servers and storage arrays that demand consistent random write performance and data integrity features such as end-to-end protection and AES 256 bit hardware encryption.

4KB random write up to 43,000 IOPS

This figure is the primary indicator of whether the drive suits your workload. The S3710 is engineered for mixed-use environments where sustained random writes matter more than peak sequential throughput, and the 43,000 IOPS rating reflects that design focus.

Enhanced power loss protection

Capacitor-backed power loss protection preserves in-flight data during unexpected outages, while on-board temperature monitoring and logging help administrators track thermal trends across the deployment. These features reduce the risk of silent data corruption in always-on systems.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MBps sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed in a server?

It represents the peak throughput for large, contiguous reads over the SATA 6Gb/s link; real-world speeds depend on the controller, queue depth and workload mix.

How does the SATA III interface limit performance in practice?

The 6Gb/s SATA bus caps maximum transfer at roughly 600 MBps, so the drive's 550 MBps read and 470 MBps write ratings sit near that ceiling.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5-inch form factor require?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch drive bay with 7 mm height clearance and uses the regular SATA data and power connectors.
