What performance specs does the Intel SSDSC2BB480G4 deliver?

Sequential read: 500MB/s, write: 410MB/s. Random 4K read: 75,000 IOPS, write: 11,000 IOPS over 8GB span. Read latency: 50µs typical (500µs max 99.9%), write: 65µs. These metrics ensure consistent QoS for read-intensive datacenter tasks per Intel datasheet.

What endurance and reliability features are included?

275TBW endurance for 480GB capacity, 2,000,000 hour MTBF, UBER <1 sector per 10^16 bits. Features full end-to-end data protection, enhanced power-loss protection, and internal temperature sensor (+/-2°C accuracy). ROHS compliant with 1000G shock resistance.

Is this SSD suitable for virtualized environments?

Yes, optimized for VDI with low read latencies and high IOPS supporting boot storms. 20nm MLC NAND and Intel controller provide consistent performance across 480GB capacity, ideal for VMware/Hyper-V clusters in dense 2U/1U servers.

What are the power and thermal specifications?

Active power: 4.3W, idle: 0.9W. Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C with 2.17Grms vibration tolerance. Low power enables high-density deployments reducing cooling costs in racks.

What form factor and interface does it use?

2.5-inch 7mm height, 74g weight, SATA 6Gb/s interface (SATA/600 standard). Compatible with any server accepting 2.5x7mm SATA drives, including laptops and standard rackmount systems.

How does it compare to consumer SSDs for enterprise use?

Enterprise-grade with power-loss protection, tighter latency distributions, higher endurance (275TBW vs consumer <100TBW), and 2M MTBF. Designed for 24/7 datacenter operation unlike consumer drives focused on burst speeds.
