Solidigm D3-S4520 480 GB 2.5" Serial ATA III TLC 3D NAND

The SSDSC2KB480GZ1Z is an enterprise-class 480GB D3-S4520 Series SATA Internal SSD originally developed under the Intel brand and manufactured by Solidigm. It is a data center-grade drive engineered to replace legacy hard drives in infrastructure server pools, cloud storage platforms, and enterprise virtualization stacks. It is specifically optimized to deliver high storage endurance, steady-state input/output performance, and comprehensive power-loss safety safeguards.

Below are the complete technical specifications for this model:

⚙️ Performance & Core Architecture

• Storage Capacity: 480 GB

• Form Factor: 2.5-Inch (slim 7mm enterprise profile height)

• Host Interface: SATA Rev 3.0 (6Gb/s) (backward compatible with older SATA II slots)

• NAND Flash Memory Type: 144-Layer 3D TLC NAND

• Maximum Sequential Read Speed: Up to 550 MB/s

• Maximum Sequential Write Speed: Up to 460 MB/s

• Steady-State Random 4K Read: Up to 79,000 IOPS

• Steady-State Random 4K Write: Up to 30,000 IOPS

🛡️ Enterprise Endurance & Reliability

• Endurance Rating (TBW): 2,560 TBW (Total Bytes Written)

• Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD): 2.8 DWPD across a 5-year deployment lifespan
