Based on SATA III and TLC NAND technology, the D3-S4510 is a server- / enterprise-level SSD designed to increase server efficiency and boost IOPS/TB performance over legacy hard disk drives (HDDs), while reducing power consumption and operating cost.
Reduce Operating Cost While Preserving Infrastructure Investment
Built for compatibility in legacy infrastructures, the SSD D3-S4510 minimizes the costs associated with modernizing your data center. Available in a variety of capacities, from 240GB up to 7.68TB, in a standard 2.5-inch form factor, the larger capacity drives consume up to 6x lower power1 and have up to 6x lower cooling1 requirements than 2.5-inch HDDs. The SSD D3-S4510 also enables 3.2x more data to be stored in the same amount of space.2
Accelerate Read-Intensive Workloads with Power-Efficient Performance
Simply by integrating SSDs into the environment, organizations can improve server agility with up to 300x more IOPS/TB3 than HDDs, supporting more users and better services to grow the business without expanding the server footprint. Additionally, the flex workload feature enables a common drive type to cover more workloads with flexible capacity, flexible endurance, and flexible power-efficient performance.
Improve System Reliability and Flexibility
The reliability of the SSD D3-S4510 reduces the need for drive replacement that is necessary with HDDs. With a 4.2x lower annualized failure rate (AFR) compared to HDDs, IT departments will spend less time and expense replacing or upgrading storage devices.4 Equally important, once the SSDs are installed, the innovative SATA firmware completes updates without reset, reducing downtime.
Minimize Service Disruptions
For years, Intel has been a leader in providing trusted data center SSDs that maximize data continuity in enterprise and cloud data centers. That reputation continues with the D3-S4510 and D3-S4610 with key capabilities that help ensure more uptime:
- Consistently delivers durable performance to optimize service level continuity
- End-to-end data protection helps keep data safe—even in the event of a power loss
- Up to 4.2x lower annualized failure rates (AFR) means fewer drive replacements4
- Innovative firmware completes updates without server reset, reducing downtime
- Simplified configurations reduce risk of component failure and streamline maintenance
