Intel D3-S4610 480GB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD

The Intel SSDSC2KG480G801 is a 2.5 inch solid state drive that makes it easy to replace a spinning hard drive or an aging SSD without reworking your entire system. With a SATA III interface, it connects to the ports already found in most desktops, workstations, and rack servers, so installation is usually as simple as sliding it into an available bay and attaching the standard SATA cable.

Once in place, the drive delivers read speeds up to 560 MB/s and write speeds up to 510 MB/s. That level of throughput turns system boot-up into a short pause, moves large project files quickly, and helps virtual machines start without delay. Random performance reaches 96,000 IOPS for reads and 44,500 IOPS for writes, so databases and multitasking workloads stay responsive even when several users access the system at once.

Intel builds the drive with 3D NAND and rates it for two million hours of mean time between failures. Power loss protection helps safeguard data that is still in the buffer if the power goes out, while onboard temperature monitoring lets you spot thermal issues before they interrupt service. These features suit small business servers, edge appliances, and home labs that need round-the-clock reliability without constant maintenance.

For environments that handle confidential information, hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption keeps data secure with minimal impact on performance. The drive draws about 3.1 watts when active and only 1.0 watt at idle, which helps shrink energy costs in multi-drive arrays or compact systems with limited airflow.
