Intel D3 S4520 240GB M.2 SATA III SSD

This internal solid-state drive uses the compact M.2 2280 form factor, designed for server and workstation environments. It features TLC 3D NAND flash memory for data storage and is suitable for read-intensive and mixed workloads in enterprise networks. Installing the module directly onto a motherboard eliminates the need for separate data or power cables, saving space inside densely packed equipment chassis.

Data transfers use the SATA III interface rather than the PCIe-based NVMe protocol. The 6 Gb/s connection ensures compatibility with standard SATA hardware controllers. Sequential read speeds reach up to 400 MB/s, while sequential write speeds reach 233 MB/s. The drive relies on the host machine’s existing storage infrastructure. Before installation, ensure the motherboard has an M.2 slot keyed for SATA communication.

• 240 GB storage capacity: Sufficient for operating systems or routine caching.
• 42,000 IOPS random 4KB read: Efficient for non-sequential data retrieval.
• 14,500 IOPS random 4KB write: Handles routine background file recording.
• 256-bit AES hardware encryption: Protects data against unauthorised access.
• Enhanced power loss protection: Reduces the risk of file corruption during unexpected power outages.
• 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating: Designed for reliability during continuous operation.
• 2.3 W active power draw: Minimises thermal output and power consumption under heavy loads.
• 0.9 W idle power consumption: Conserves energy during system standby.
