SSDSC2KB960G701 Intel DC S4500 960GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

Enterprise 2.5in SATA Read-Optimized SSD with Power-Loss Protection featuring the SSDSC2KB960G701

The SSDSC2KB960G701 is a 960GB Intel DC S4500 Series enterprise SSD designed as a dependable SATA 6Gb/s boot, OS, and read-optimized data tier for rack servers and appliances where predictable latency and data integrity are mandatory. In mixed CPU platform fleets, it provides a consistent storage baseline for x86 virtualization hosts, web/application nodes, and infrastructure services without requiring a PCIe/NVMe backplane refresh.

Architecturally, SSDSC2KB960G701 aligns with systems that prioritize stable I/O under steady-state conditions: TLC NAND with tuned firmware for read-heavy profiles, up to 72K/30K 4K IOPS, and sequential throughput up to 500/490 MB/s within the constraints of the SATA link. End-to-end data protection and integrated power loss protection reduce the risk of in-flight write corruption, while AES-256 self-encrypting drive capabilities support security baselines in multi-tenant environments. With 1W idle and 4.8W active power draw, the SSDSC2KB960G701 supports dense deployments where thermal and power envelopes are tightly managed.

Why Choose the SSDSC2KB960G701?

The SSDSC2KB960G701 delivers an efficient density-to-performance ratio for legacy and current SATA architectures, enabling standardized boot/OS media and read-optimized virtualization tiers at scale. Its 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years, 1860 TBW, and 2.0M hours MTBF support predictable lifecycle planning, while built-in telemetry such as temperature monitoring/logging strengthens operational control across large server estates.

Intel engineers the DC S4500 platform for data center reliability, emphasizing consistent QoS, comprehensive data path protection, and validation against enterprise workloads and qualification practices commonly used in modern data centers and storage arrays.

Key Applications:

• Data center boot and OS volumes
• Read-optimized virtualization and VDI
• Web and application hosting
• SATA array and server refresh projects
