Enterprise SSD for write-light workloads

The Intel DC S3610 is a 100 GB 2.5 inch SATA drive built with MLC flash for read-heavy enterprise tasks. It suits database logging, boot volumes and caching tiers where random reads dominate. Buyers who need more capacity or sustained write bandwidth should look elsewhere.

Thermals and power in normal use

Idle power draw is 0.53 W and active power reaches 3.3 W, keeping heat output low inside dense server chassis. The drive operates from 0 °C to 70 °C and includes temperature monitoring and logging for fleet management. No moving parts mean silent operation.

Behaviour under sustained load

Sequential reads reach 550 MBps and writes 520 MBps while 4 KB random reads hit 82,000 IOPS and writes 6,500 IOPS. Read latency sits at 55 µs and write latency at 66 µs. End-to-end data protection, power-loss protection and AES 256-bit encryption maintain integrity during continuous operation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SATA drive and what step is often missed?

Mount the 2.5" drive in a bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, then enable AHCI mode in the BIOS so the drive can use its full command queue.

What maintenance or replacement will the MLC NAND need later?

The MLC memory has a 2,000,000-hour MTBF; monitor SMART health attributes and replace the drive once the media-wear indicator approaches its rated limit.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy writes?

The 520 MBps sequential write ceiling and 6,500 IOPS random write cap are reached before the 70°C operating temperature threshold.
