Compared with the earlier SSDSC2BX200G4, the SSDSC2BX200G4R is the endurance-focused refresh, delivering 3 DWPD and 1,100 TBW in the same 200GB SATA 6Gb/s form factor for materially stronger suitability in write-active enterprise duty cycles. Its 20nm MLC NAND, 84,000/12,000 IOPS random performance, and steady 550/230 MB/s throughput make it a precise fit for server boot, logging, and metadata tiers where higher durability and predictable latency matter more than raw capacity.
With an endurance rating of 1100 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDSC2BX200G4R is built to handle intensive write workloads far beyond typical client or boot-drive usage. In practical terms, for common OS, application, and mixed business workloads, this level of endurance can support long-term deployment with ample margin, making it a dependable choice for years of continuous service. For enterprise reliability, the drive includes power-loss protection (PLP), which helps preserve in-flight data and mapping-table integrity during unexpected power interruptions. Its UBER rating of 1.0E-17, together with a 2 million hour MTBF, indicates a very low probability of uncorrectable bit errors and strong overall reliability for business-critical environments.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface enables straightforward drop-in deployment across legacy and modern enterprise storage platforms, reducing integration cost and simplifying large-scale refresh projects.
2. With sequential read performance up to 550 MB/s, the drive accelerates boot, imaging, and large-file retrieval workloads, helping data-intensive business applications respond faster.
3. Random read capability of 84,000 IOPS supports highly concurrent transactional environments, improving responsiveness for virtualized servers, metadata access, and read-heavy databases.
4. Rated for 3 DWPD, this SSD is built for sustained write-intensive enterprise use, giving IT teams the endurance headroom needed for logging, caching, and mixed-workload operations.
5. Built with 20nm MLC NAND and a typical latency of 55 µs, the drive delivers a strong balance of flash reliability and consistently fast response times for latency-sensitive business systems.
Lower capacity reference: 100 GB Higher capacity reference: 400 GB In this series, the 200 GB model sits at the practical sweet spot. Compared with the 100 GB version, it gives much better headroom for OS growth, patching, logs, and application overhead, reducing the risk of early capacity pressure. Compared with the 400 GB option, it preserves nearly the same enterprise-class performance profile while keeping acquisition cost and stranded capacity under tighter control. This makes 200 GB a strong fit for mid-scale deployments, such as a 2-node virtualization cluster hosting roughly 30 to 40 mixed infrastructure and application system volumes.
Q: Is SSDSC2BX200G4R suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD, 1100 TBW, 20nm MLC NAND, and 55 µs typical latency, SSDSC2BX200G4R is well suited for write-intensive database and enterprise server workloads.
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 200 GB SSD, that equals about 600 GB of writes daily throughout its specified warranty period.
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 environments.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID 1, 10, or 5 can be selected depending on performance and redundancy needs. For write-heavy business applications, RAID 10 is typically the most balanced recommendation.
