Intel DC S4600 240GB SATA SSD

This Intel DC S4600 Series drive delivers 240GB of storage in a 2.5-inch SATA III form factor. It uses Intel 3D NAND TLC memory and a proprietary controller to replace mechanical hard drives in existing server infrastructure. Sequential reads reach 500 MBps while writes hit 260 MBps. Random 4KB performance provides 72,000 read IOPS and 38,000 write IOPS.

Data-center upgrade focus

The SSD targets IT teams modernising legacy platforms without changing drive bays or cabling. Its 2,000,000-hour MTBF and 3.2x lower annualised failure rate versus HDDs reduce replacement cycles. Active power draw is 3.1W and idle power is 0.9W, operating from 0°C to 70°C. Workloads needing higher throughput or different physical interfaces should evaluate alternative drives.

SATA III interface constraint

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA III interface, which limits maximum throughput to the figures above. Verify that the host system provides a 6Gb/s SATA port and a 2.5-inch bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" drive fit a standard 2.5" SATA bay?

Yes, the 2.5" form factor matches standard SATA drive bays and uses the SATA III interface for direct connection.

What is the correct way to install the drive so firmware updates apply without a server reset?

Connect the SATA data and power cables, secure the drive in the bay, then power on the system; the controller firmware updates automatically in the background without requiring a reboot.

How long is the drive rated to run before a replacement is typically needed?

The MTBF is 2,000,000 hours and the Annualized Failure Rate is 3.2x lower than HDDs, so replacement intervals are significantly extended.
