Intel DC S4500 480GB Internal SSD

This 2.5 inch internal solid state drive provides 480GB of storage capacity. It uses TLC NAND flash memory and delivers sequential read speeds up to 500 MB/s. Sequential write speeds reach up to 260 MB/s for data-intensive workloads.

Enterprise Workload Suitability

Random read performance of 72,000 IOPS and random write performance of 38,000 IOPS suit mixed enterprise workloads. The 2 million hour MTBF rating supports continuous operation in server environments. Active power consumption is 3.1 W typical and idle power is 0.9 W typical.

7.0mm Thickness Constraint

The drive measures 7.0mm thick, which determines compatibility with specific 2.5 inch drive bays and caddies. Verify that your system accepts this height before purchase. Operating shock resistance is rated at 1000G at 0.5 ms for physical durability.

Questions about this item

What drive bay size and thickness clearance does the Intel DC S4500 480GB require?

The drive uses a standard 2.5 inch form factor and is 7.0 mm thick, so it fits any 2.5 inch bay that accepts a 7 mm drive.

What is the step people often miss when fitting this drive into a server tray?

The drive has no brackets attached; you must screw the supplied or existing tray rails onto the side mounting holes before sliding it into the chassis.

When should the Intel DC S4500 480GB be replaced based on its rated endurance?

The drive carries a 2 million hour MTBF and is rated for typical active power of 3.1 W; monitor SMART wear indicators and replace once the media‑wear metric approaches the rated limit.
