150GB 2.5" SATA Enterprise SSD

The Intel DC S3520 SSDSC2BB150G701 is a 150GB 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive built with MLC NAND for data-centre, cloud and embedded deployments. It targets read-intensive workloads such as boot volumes, web servers, low-rate operational databases and analytics where consistent IOPS and data integrity matter more than raw capacity.

Installation and common issues

The drive fits standard 2.5-inch SATA bays and connects with ordinary SATA data and power cables; no special bracket or adapter is required. Installers should verify that the backplane or controller supports SATA III 6Gb/s and that the system BIOS or RAID firmware is current, otherwise the drive may negotiate at a lower link speed or fail to appear during POST.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous operation the SSD draws 2.2W active and 0.53W idle, with 1.0 DWPD endurance and an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours. Sequential throughput holds at up to 180 MBps read and 165 MBps write, while random performance sustains up to 43,000 read IOPS and 31,000 write IOPS at latencies of 30µs read and 35µs write across the 0°C to 70°C operating range.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Intel DC S3520 150GB SSD is working as intended after installation?

Confirm the drive is detected in the BIOS or OS disk utility, then run a SMART health check to ensure zero reallocated sectors and a 100% life remaining status.

What is included with the Intel SSDSC2BB150G701 and what must be purchased separately?

The single pack contains only the 2.5-inch 150GB MLC SATA SSD; mounting brackets, screws, SATA data cables, and power cables are sold separately.

Which capacity of the Intel DC S3520 series should I choose for a read-intensive boot or web server workload?

The 150GB model offers 1.0 DWPD endurance and 180 MBps sequential read speed, while larger capacities up to 1.6TB provide higher total bytes written for heavier write workloads.
