Compared with the previous-generation SSDSC2BA400G3, the SSDC2BA400G4R in the Intel DC S3610 Series advances enterprise SATA storage with a more durability-focused design, combining Intel 20nm MLC NAND, 3 DWPD, and 2,300 TBW for significantly stronger write sustainability in 24/7 server deployments. At 400GB, it also delivers a well-balanced performance profile of up to 550/400 MB/s and 84,000/12,000 IOPS, making it a particularly strong choice for boot, caching, and mixed read/write data-center workloads where predictable endurance matters more than peak interface speed.
With 2300 TBW endurance and a 3 DWPD rating, the SSDC2BA400G4R can sustain writing its full 400 GB capacity three times every day throughout its rated service life, making it well suited for write-intensive enterprise workloads. In typical use as an OS, boot, or application drive, this level of endurance translates into many years of stable operation, and for lighter system-disk workloads it can be used with confidence for up to 10 years or more. Enterprise reliability is further strengthened by built-in Power Loss Protection (PLP), which helps preserve in-flight data and protects metadata integrity if power is suddenly interrupted. Its ultra-low UBER of 1.0E-17 means the risk of unrecoverable bit errors is extremely small, while the 2 million-hour MTBF supports dependable long-term deployment in business-critical environments.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface pairs with 550 MB/s sequential read performance to accelerate OS boot, patch distribution, and large-file access in legacy enterprise servers without requiring a PCIe platform upgrade.
2. With 84,000 K IOPS of random read capability, the drive can sustain dense metadata, index, and virtualized workload access patterns while reducing storage-side bottlenecks during peak query activity.
3. Rated at 3 DWPD, this SSD is built for write-intensive enterprise applications such as OLTP databases, logging, and caching tiers where consistent endurance directly extends service life and lowers replacement risk.
4. Intel 20nm MLC NAND provides a stronger balance of endurance, data retention, and performance consistency than consumer-grade flash, making it better suited for always-on datacenter duty cycles.
5. A typical latency of 55 µs helps keep transaction response times predictable, improving application QoS for latency-sensitive workloads like real-time analytics and high-concurrency virtual machines.
For the SSDC2BA400G4R, the most practical adjacent capacities in the same family are 200GB as the lower tier and 800GB as the higher tier. At 400GB, this SSD sits in the sweet spot of the series. Compared with the 200GB model, it offers much better headroom for OS images, logs, metadata, and application growth, reducing early capacity pressure in enterprise deployments. Compared with the 800GB option, it keeps acquisition cost and power footprint under tighter control while delivering essentially the same enterprise-class sequential and random performance profile. It is well suited for mid-scale virtualization clusters, such as hosting system and boot volumes for about 40 to 60 virtual machines.
Q: Is SSDC2BA400G4R suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD, 2300 TBW, Intel 20nm MLC NAND, and 55 µs typical latency, SSDC2BA400G4R is well suited for write-intensive database workloads requiring endurance and consistent performance.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: This model is rated for 3 drive writes per day. For a 400GB capacity, that equals about 1.2TB of writes daily throughout the specified warranty period under normal conditions.
Q: Does it include power loss protection (PLP) and why is that critical?
A: Yes, it includes power loss protection. PLP helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during sudden outages, reducing corruption risk and improving reliability for enterprise servers and transactional applications.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: For most enterprise deployments, RAID 10 is recommended to balance performance, redundancy, and rebuild efficiency. If capacity efficiency matters more than write speed, RAID 5 or RAID 6 may also be considered.
