SSDSC2BB960G701 Intel DC S3000 Series DC S3520 960GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch SATA Enterprise SSD featuring consistent latency and data protection with the SSDSC2BB960G701

The SSDSC2BB960G701 is a 960GB Intel DC S3520 series enterprise SSD engineered for server OS, boot, and read-centric cache tiers where predictable behavior matters more than peak throughput. Deployed behind modern multi-core CPU platforms with high memory density, the SSDSC2BB960G701 stabilizes storage response for virtualised and general-purpose nodes that rely on consistent I/O under consolidated workloads.

Designed for broad compatibility, the SSDSC2BB960G701 uses SATA 6Gb/s to integrate cleanly with standard backplanes and HBA/RAID controllers, preserving PCIe lanes for GPU, NIC, and accelerator expansion. Its 2.5-inch 7mm form factor enables dense front-bay layouts, while performance up to 450MB/s read and 380MB/s write with 4K IOPS up to 67k/16k supports metadata-heavy services and cache layers. For operational continuity, the SSDSC2BB960G701 combines power-loss protection and end-to-end data protection to mitigate in-flight corruption during unexpected power events.

Why Choose the SSDSC2BB960G701?

The SSDSC2BB960G701 delivers an efficient density-to-performance profile for boot and mixed read/write roles, pairing enterprise reliability with straightforward SATA deployment at scale. With 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years and 1750TBW, the SSDSC2BB960G701 aligns with fleet standardisation strategies that prioritise controlled latency, serviceability, and predictable lifecycle planning.

Intel designs the DC S3000 family around validated firmware behavior, platform interoperability, and data-centre operational safeguards, including hardware-based encryption and robust error handling. The result is an enterprise SSD aligned with compliance-driven environments and continuous service requirements.
