What are the sequential read and write speeds of this SSD?

The SOLIDIGM D3-S4520 480GB SSD achieves sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and write speeds up to 460 MB/s via SATA 6Gb/s interface. These performance levels support efficient data transfers in datacenter read-intensive workloads, outperforming HDDs.

What is the endurance rating and MTBF?

Endurance is 2.8 DWPD with 2560 TBW, paired with 2 million hours MTBF. This ensures high reliability for mixed workloads, reducing failure rates up to 1.9x lower than HDDs in server environments.

What NAND technology does it use?

It features 144-layer 3D4 TLC NAND, enabling power-efficient performance and compatibility with legacy SATA systems. This technology accelerates workloads while preserving infrastructure.

Is encryption supported?

Yes, it includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption and end-to-end data protection. This secures data in transit and at rest for compliance in datacenter and workstation deployments.

What is the form factor and operating temperature range?

The 2.5-inch internal drive has a 0.3in height and weighs 2.14 oz, operating from 0°C to 70°C with 1000G shock resistance. It fits standard server bays seamlessly.

What are the random IOPS performance figures?

Random 4K read reaches 79,000 IOPS and write 30,000 IOPS. These metrics boost server efficiency for cloud storage and virtualized environments over traditional drives.
