SSDSC2KB480GZ01 Intel D3-S4520 480GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in Enterprise SATA SSD featuring 3D TLC NAND and PLP with the SSDSC2KB480GZ01

The SSDSC2KB480GZ01 is an Intel D3-S4520 Series 2.5in 7mm SATA 6Gb/s SSD engineered for predictable storage behavior in virtualized CPU platforms where capacity efficiency, steady latency, and fleet manageability matter more than peak PCIe bandwidth. By leveraging 3D NAND TLC and a read-optimized architecture, the SSDSC2KB480GZ01 aligns well with OS and boot volumes, web tiers, and general-purpose data centre roles that rely on consistent storage QoS under mixed read/write activity.

In server designs constrained by limited PCIe lanes or where NVMe is reserved for high-IO tiers, the SSDSC2KB480GZ01 provides a straightforward SATA integration path across common backplanes and HBA/SATA controller stacks. Its power profile supports dense nodes, while power loss protection and end-to-end data protection strengthen data integrity during unexpected outages. For compliance-bound deployments, the SSDSC2KB480GZ01 includes self-encrypting drive capabilities with 256-bit AES to simplify secure provisioning without redesigning the storage architecture.

Why Choose the SSDSC2KB480GZ01?

The SSDSC2KB480GZ01 delivers a balanced density-to-performance ratio for 2.5in bays, enabling scalable rollouts of standardized boot and application storage while maintaining enterprise reliability targets. With defined endurance for sustained operation and consistent SATA interoperability, the SSDSC2KB480GZ01 supports repeatable builds across clusters and accelerates hardware lifecycle planning in mixed-workload environments.

Intel designs the D3-S4520 family with data centre validation, controlled firmware behavior, and long-term consistency as first-order goals, aligning the platform with modern operational standards such as secure deployment, predictable service levels, and disciplined failure-rate management.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes for rack servers
• Virtualization and hypervisor datastores
• Web and application tier storage
• Secure storage in compliance-bound environments
• General-purpose read-optimized data centre pools
