Compared with the earlier SSDSC2KG038T801, the SSDSC2KG038T8 is the newer-generation D3-S4610 option, combining 64-layer 3D TLC with a robust 3 DWPD / 24,000 TBW endurance profile for longer-life enterprise SATA deployments. At 3.84 TB, it delivers near-saturation SATA 6Gb/s performance at 560/510 MB/s and 96,000/51,000 IOPS, making it a stronger fit for write-intensive virtualization, database logging, and mixed-read/write server workloads where endurance matters as much as capacity.
With an endurance rating of 24,000 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDSC2KG038T8 is built to handle very heavy write activity over its service life, making it well suited for demanding enterprise workloads. In practical terms, for typical OS, application, and mixed business workloads, this level of endurance means it can comfortably serve as a system or server boot drive for many years, with write limits unlikely to be a concern even over a 10-year usage horizon. Its power-loss protection (PLP) helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during an unexpected power interruption, reducing the risk of corruption and improving operational stability. The UBER rating of 1.0E-17 means an extremely low probability of unrecoverable read errors, giving procurement teams added confidence in data integrity for business-critical environments.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface enables straightforward drop-in deployment across mainstream enterprise servers and storage arrays, making refresh projects faster and more cost-efficient without requiring PCIe platform changes.
2. Its strong sequential read performance helps accelerate large-block data access, reducing wait time for backup restores, media streaming repositories, and read-heavy analytics workloads.
3. High random read capability translates into snappier response for virtualized environments and database applications, where many small concurrent requests must be served consistently under load.
4. A 3 DWPD endurance rating gives IT teams the write headroom needed for transaction-heavy enterprise workloads, supporting reliable daily rewrites over the drive’s service life.
5. Built with 64-layer 3D TLC NAND and paired with low typical latency, the drive balances density, cost efficiency, and responsive data access for business-critical applications that need predictable performance.
Lower-capacity reference: 1.92 TB Higher-capacity reference: 7.68 TB The 3.84 TB model sits at the sweet spot in this SSD family. Compared with the 1.92 TB option, it gives meaningfully more headroom for OS images, application growth, and data buffering, reducing early capacity pressure in enterprise nodes. Compared with the 7.68 TB version, it usually delivers a better balance of acquisition cost, usable capacity, and the same class of enterprise SATA performance. This makes it especially well suited for mid-scale virtualization clusters, such as hosting system and application volumes for around 40 to 60 business workloads.
Q: Is SSDSC2KG038T8 suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD endurance, 24,000 TBW, low 36 µs typical latency, and 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, SSDSC2KG038T8 is well suited for write-intensive database and transactional 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. Based on its 3.84 TB capacity, that equals about 11.52 TB of writes daily across the 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 sudden outages, reducing corruption risk and improving reliability in enterprise and database environments.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID choice depends on workload and protection needs. RAID 10 is commonly recommended for databases, offering strong performance and redundancy. RAID 1 or RAID 5 may suit other capacity-focused deployments.
