Compared with the earlier SSDSC2BA800G3 revision, the SSDSC2BA800G4R is the stronger DC S3710 choice for refresh cycles because it delivers a later-generation 800 GB SATA platform with 10 DWPD and 16.9 PBW endurance, giving write-intensive infrastructures more lifecycle headroom in the same 2.5-inch footprint. With 20nm MLC NAND, 550/460 MB/s sequential performance, and up to 85,000/43,000 IOPS, it is particularly well suited to OLTP databases, logging tiers, and virtualization workloads that need enterprise write consistency beyond typical read-centric SATA SSDs.
With an endurance rating of 16,900 TBW and 10 DWPD, the SSDSC2BA800G4R is built for sustained heavy write workloads far beyond typical client or light server usage. In practical terms, this level of endurance means it can comfortably serve as an OS, application, or cache drive for many years under normal enterprise operation, giving buyers strong confidence in long-term wear life. The drive also includes enterprise-grade power loss protection, which helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during unexpected power interruptions, reducing the risk of corruption and downtime. Its UBER of 1.0E-17 indicates an extremely low unrecoverable bit error rate, supporting high data integrity for business-critical environments, while the 2 million hour MTBF further reinforces overall reliability expectations.
1. The SATA interface enables straightforward drop-in deployment across legacy enterprise backplanes while still delivering near-bus-limit sequential throughput for faster boot, restore, and bulk data access.
2. Its strong random-read capability sustains responsive performance for VM farms, OLTP databases, and metadata-heavy workloads where many small requests arrive simultaneously.
3. The high endurance rating supports write-intensive enterprise use cases such as logging, caching, and mixed transactional workloads with less frequent drive replacement over the service life.
4. The MLC NAND design prioritizes write durability and performance consistency over lower-cost flash, making it better suited for always-on datacenter duty cycles.
5. The very low typical latency helps reduce storage wait time at the application layer, improving QoS stability for latency-sensitive services and heavily consolidated platforms.
Lower capacity reference: 480 GB Higher capacity reference: 1.2 TB In this product family, the 800 GB SSDSC2BA800G4R sits in the sweet spot for mainstream enterprise deployments. Compared with the 480 GB model, it gives meaningfully more headroom for OS images, application growth, logs, and overprovisioning without changing the expected SATA enterprise performance profile. Compared with the 1.2 TB option, it usually delivers the better balance of acquisition cost, usable capacity, and steady enterprise-grade read/write behavior. It is especially well suited for mid-size virtualization clusters, such as hosting boot and application volumes for about 40 to 60 business workloads.
Q: Is SSDSC2BA800G4R suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 10 DWPD endurance, 16,900 TBW, 20nm MLC NAND, and 55 µs typical latency, SSDSC2BA800G4R is well suited for write-intensive database and enterprise workloads.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: This model is rated for 10 drive writes per day. For an 800 GB SSD, that equals about 8 TB of writes daily across its supported warranty endurance window.
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 unexpected outages, reducing corruption risk and improving reliability in enterprise storage environments.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: The recommended RAID level depends on your goal. RAID 10 is typically preferred for databases requiring strong write performance and redundancy, while RAID 5 or 6 favors capacity efficiency.
