Intel SSD DC S3510 240GB Enterprise SATA Solid State Drive

The Intel SSD DC S3510 240GB is an enterprise-class solid state drive designed for data center, server, virtualization, database, cloud, hosting and read-intensive storage applications. Featuring a standard 2.5-inch form factor, SATA 6Gb/s interface and Intel 16nm MLC NAND Flash, the DC S3510 provides reliable solid-state storage for compatible enterprise servers and storage systems.

240GB Enterprise Storage Capacity

The drive provides 240GB of solid-state storage capacity, making it suitable for server operating systems, boot volumes, applications, databases, virtual machines and other enterprise workloads requiring fast and responsive storage.

Intel 16nm MLC NAND

The DC S3510 series uses Intel 16nm Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash technology. The drive was developed specifically for data-center applications and provides enterprise-oriented endurance, reliability and data-protection features.

SATA 6Gb/s Interface

The S3510 uses a SATA Revision 3.0 interface supporting transfer rates up to 6Gb/s. It is also compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s interface rates when connected to compatible host controllers.

Enterprise SSD Performance

The Intel SSD DC S3510 series provides sustained sequential read performance of up to 500MB/s and sequential write performance of up to 460MB/s depending on capacity. Random 4KB performance for the series reaches up to 68,000 read IOPS and 20,000 write IOPS.

Actual performance varies according to drive capacity, workload, queue depth, firmware, storage controller and system configuration.

140 TBW Endurance

The 240GB Intel DC S3510 is rated for approximately 140 terabytes written (TBW). Intel specifies the S3510 family for approximately 0.3 drive writes per day over a five-year period under its defined endurance workload.

Enhanced Power-Loss Data Protection

The DC S3510 includes enhanced power-loss data protection designed to help protect data during unexpected power interruptions. This is an important feature for enterprise servers and storage systems where sudden loss of power could otherwise increase the risk of data corruption.

End-to-End Data Protection

The drive incorporates end-to-end data protection features intended to maintain data integrity as information moves through the SSD's internal data path.

AES 256-Bit Encryption

The Intel DC S3510 series supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption, providing additional security functionality for compatible enterprise environments.

2.5-Inch Server Form Factor

The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor, allowing installation in compatible server drive carriers, hot-swap bays and SATA storage systems.
