SSDSC2KB960GZ01 Intel D3-S4520 960GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in SATA Enterprise SSD featuring 3D TLC NAND efficiency with the SSDSC2KB960GZ01

The SSDSC2KB960GZ01 is a 960GB Intel D3-S4520 Series 2.5in (7mm) SATA SSD engineered for predictable latency and consistent throughput in standard x86 server platforms. It integrates cleanly into CPU and GPU compute nodes where PCIe lanes are prioritised for accelerators and NICs, while the SATA backplane remains the most serviceable path for OS, boot pools, and capacity tiers.

By using 3D TLC NAND with an enterprise controller, the SSDSC2KB960GZ01 delivers sequential performance up to 550MB/s read and 510MB/s write, aligning with SATA limits while maintaining stable behaviour under multi-tenant I/O. For virtualisation clusters and read-optimised databases, the SSDSC2KB960GZ01 supports caching and mixed-use tiers with up to 43,000 IOPS random write (4K). Power characteristics are tuned for dense chassis, with low idle draw and controlled active power to reduce thermal hotspots across front-drive bays.

Why Choose the SSDSC2KB960GZ01?

The SSDSC2KB960GZ01 provides an efficient density-to-performance balance for enterprise SATA deployments where operational simplicity, hot-swap serviceability, and fleet standardisation matter. With 3 DWPD endurance over 5 years and 5.3PB TBW, it supports sustained write activity for OS mirroring, metadata services, and caching layers while keeping capacity planning straightforward. Integrated power-loss protection and end-to-end data protection help preserve in-flight data integrity during unexpected events, supporting scalable rollouts across racks.

Intel designs the D3-S4520 family with a focus on data centre reliability, validation discipline, and consistent behaviour under sustained load. Features such as temperature monitoring and logging, 2.0M hours MTBF targets, and hardware-based security align the SSDSC2KB960GZ01 with modern operational standards for controlled, auditable storage deployments.

Key Applications:

• Server boot drives and OS mirroring
• Virtualisation and container host caching
• Read-optimised database storage
• Enterprise SATA mixed-use storage tier
