Intel D3-S4520 960GB 2.5" SATA III SSD

Designed for enterprise and workstation environments, this internal solid-state drive provides non-volatile storage for intensive workloads. It has a capacity of 960 GB, suitable for operating systems, application files, and server databases. The 2.5-inch form factor allows for easy installation in standard server drive bays and mounting sleds. The drive uses TLC 3D NAND flash for high-density storage in a compact format.

The drive connects via a Serial ATA III interface, supporting transfer rates of up to 6 Gbit/s. Sequential read speeds reach 550 MB/s, while sequential write speeds reach 510 MB/s. These speeds significantly reduce latency compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. As it adheres to the SATA standard, the drive is compatible with a wide range of existing server backplanes and does not require NVMe support.

• Random 4K read speed: Up to 90,000 IOPS for database querying.
• Random 4K write speed: Up to 43,000 IOPS for mixed random and streaming workloads.
• Hardware encryption: 256-bit AES encryption to protect sensitive data.
• Power-loss protection: Built-in circuitry to reduce the risk of data corruption during power failures.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): Rated for 2,000,000 hours of operation.
• Idle power consumption: 1.1 W when inactive to minimise energy use in always-on systems.
