Enterprise SATA SSD for server storage

The Solidigm D3-S4520 is a 960 GB internal drive built for data-centre workloads. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and a SATA 6 Gb/s interface with 144-layer TLC 3D NAND. The drive is rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF and operates from 0 °C to 70 °C. It targets servers that need consistent read performance and high endurance.

Upgrade from lower-endurance SATA SSDs

Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s and writes 510 MB/s, while random 4 KB reads hit 90000 IOPS and writes 43000 IOPS. Total bytes written is 5427.20 TB, so the jump is worth it when workloads exceed the write limits of consumer drives. The 256-bit encryption standard is included for data-at-rest protection.

Fits 2.5 inch drive bays with SATA power and data

The 0.3 inch height matches standard server trays and hot-swap carriers. Shock resistance is rated at 1000 G at 0.5 ms and vibration at 2.17 GRMS operating and 3.13 GRMS non-operating. No wireless or PCIe interface is present, so the drive frees up M.2 slots for other devices. It requires a SATA backplane or controller that supports 6 Gb/s operation.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch form factor and 0.3-inch height fit my server drive bay?

The drive measures 2.5 inches wide and 0.3 inches tall, matching the standard SATA 2.5-inch internal drive bay used in most servers.

What is the correct way to connect the SATA data and power cables during installation?

Align the L-shaped SATA data and power connectors with the drive ports, press firmly until seated, and ensure the host controller is set to AHCI mode for full performance.

How many terabytes can be written before the 144L TLC NAND reaches its endurance limit?

The drive is rated for 5427.20 TBW, so it will accept that amount of cumulative host writes over its warranted lifetime.
