480 GB SATA enterprise SSD

The Solidigm D3-S4520 is a 480 GB solid-state drive built for data-centre workloads. It uses 144L TLC 3D NAND and a SATA III interface in an M.2 2280 form factor. The drive carries a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating for continuous operation.

Suits read-heavy server arrays.

This drive fits read-heavy server arrays and boot volumes that benefit from SATA simplicity. It is not for write-intensive logging or caching tiers that demand higher endurance. Buyers who need a different capacity or interface should look at other models.

SATA III interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA III interface. The M.2 2280 slot must support SATA signalling, not PCIe, for the drive to function. Verify the host platform before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 480GB capacity mean once this drive is installed in a server?

The 480GB provides usable space for operating systems, applications and data in a server environment, delivered through SATA III with 144L TLC 3D NAND.

How does the SATA III interface limit real-world throughput?

SATA III caps sequential transfer at its native 6Gb/s ceiling, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that bus limit.

What physical slot and length does the M.2 2280 form factor require?

It fits an M.2 key-M or key-B slot accepting 2280-length cards (80 mm).
