Solidigm D3-S4520 480GB M.2 SATA III SSD

Designed for data centre and workstation environments, this 480 GB internal solid-state drive uses a Serial ATA III interface rather than NVMe. It follows the standard M.2 2280 form factor, fitting directly into compatible server motherboards and expansion cards. It is suited for workloads that require reliable SATA-based access.

The drive features TLC 3D NAND flash memory, with endurance tuned for demanding, always-on enterprise applications. It supports up to 4.7 drive writes per day with a total bytes written (TBW) rating of 4100. Built-in power-loss protection helps prevent data corruption during unexpected power outages. The M.2 design allows for secure installation directly onto the host board.

• Sequential read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 500 MB/s
• Random 4K performance of 85,000 IOPS read and 48,000 IOPS write
• 6 Gbit/s SATA interface to maximise available bandwidth
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours
• Power consumption of 3 W active and 0.9 W idle for thermal efficiency
• 7.8 g weight to reduce mechanical stress on the connection slot
