The Intel S4600 Mainstream SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) for Lenovo servers are advanced data center SSDs optimized for mixed read-write performance, endurance and strong data protection. The drives are available in either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive form factor.
The Intel SSD S4600 drives with 3 full drives writes per day (DWD) are an excellent choice as cache in transactional application and high-speed storage for enterprise databases.
The Intel S4600 Enterprise Mainstream SATA solid-state drive is shown in the following figure.
- Industry-standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch form factors
- Cost-effective Intel 3D NAND TLC Flash Memory
- Endurance of 3 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years, using Intel High Endurance Technology (HET). The total number of bytes that can be written to the drive (TBW) is as follows
240 GB drive: 1.40 PB
480 GB drive: 2.95 PB
960 GB drive: 5.25 PB
1.92 TB drive: 10.84 PB
- SATA TLC solid-state drive with high read performance and consistently low latencies to fulfill client needs in the enterprise space
- High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
- Energy saving, with 5 W typical power consumption per drive
- Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server
- S.M.A.R.T. support
- Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
- Full end-to-end data path protection
- Thermal throttling to extend the life of the drive
- Enhanced power loss data protection
