Compared with the earlier SSDSC2BX400G4, the SSDSC2BX400G4R refines the DC S3610 platform with the same enterprise-class 3 DWPD and 2.7 PBW endurance in a later production revision, making it the safer choice for long-life refresh cycles where qualification stability and sustained write reliability matter. With 20nm MLC NAND, 550/400 MB/s throughput, and up to 84K/25K IOPS, this 400GB SATA SSD is especially well suited to read-intensive databases, virtualization boot/storage tiers, and mixed-use server workloads that need stronger write endurance than typical value SATA drives.
With an endurance rating of 2700 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDSC2BX400G4R is built for sustained write-intensive enterprise use, allowing the 400GB drive to be fully written three times per day throughout its rated service life. In typical deployment scenarios, this level of endurance is far beyond ordinary OS, boot, and application workloads, meaning it can serve reliably as a system drive for many years with substantial headroom. The drive also includes enterprise-class reliability features such as power loss protection (PLP), which helps preserve in-flight data and protects metadata integrity if power is suddenly interrupted. Its UBER of 1.0E-17 and MTBF of 2 million hours indicate an extremely low likelihood of unrecoverable bit errors and strong long-term operational reliability, making it a dependable choice for business-critical environments.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface makes this drive an easy drop-in upgrade for mainstream enterprise servers and storage arrays, improving performance without requiring a platform redesign.
2. Its 550 MB/s sequential read speed helps accelerate boot volumes, software distribution, and large-file access in virtualized and read-heavy business environments.
3. With up to 84,000 random read IOPS, it can serve dense mixed-VM and database lookup workloads more smoothly by reducing storage-side bottlenecks under concurrency.
4. The 3 DWPD endurance rating is suited for write-intensive enterprise use, giving IT teams the confidence to run logging, caching, and transactional workloads over the full service life of the drive.
5. Built on 20nm MLC NAND with a typical latency of 55 µs, it delivers a strong balance of durability and consistently fast response times for latency-sensitive business applications.
Lower-capacity reference: 200 GB Higher-capacity reference: 800 GB In this enterprise SSD family, the 400 GB model sits at the sweet spot for mainstream infrastructure. Compared with the 200 GB version, it offers much better headroom for OS images, logs, metadata, and steady application growth, reducing early capacity pressure. Compared with the 800 GB option, it keeps acquisition cost and replacement budgeting more controlled while delivering essentially the same enterprise-class sequential throughput and random IOPS profile. It is especially well suited for medium-sized virtualization clusters, such as hosting boot and utility volumes for about 40 to 60 virtual machines.
Q: Is SSDSC2BX400G4R suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD, 2700 TBW, 20nm MLC NAND, and 55 µs typical latency, SSDSC2BX400G4R 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 DWPD, meaning it can sustain writing its full 400 GB capacity three times per day throughout the defined warranty or endurance 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 sudden outages, reducing corruption risk and improving reliability in enterprise storage environments.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID 10 is generally recommended for this SSD in performance-critical environments, especially databases. It balances speed, redundancy, and write efficiency better than parity-based RAID for heavy workloads.
