Compared with the earlier SSDSC2KG240G8, the SSDSC2KG240G8R D3-S4610 is the stronger 240 GB SATA choice for write-intensive infrastructure, combining 64-layer 3D TLC with 3 DWPD and 1,500 TBW to deliver higher endurance headroom and better lifecycle economics. It is particularly well suited for database logs, virtualization boot volumes, and edge-cache metadata tiers where its 560/320 MB/s throughput and up to 93,000/28,000 IOPS provide more consistent mixed-workload performance than typical read-centric SATA SSDs in the same class.
With an endurance rating of 1,500 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDSC2KG240G8R is built to handle very write-intensive use over its service life, far beyond the needs of typical OS, application, and server boot workloads. In practical terms, for common system-disk deployment, this level of endurance supports many years of stable operation and can comfortably serve as a reliable system drive for up to 10 years under normal enterprise usage patterns. This drive also includes power-loss protection, which helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during an unexpected power interruption, reducing the risk of corruption and improving operational safety. Its enterprise-grade UBER of 1.0E-17, together with a 2 million hour MTBF, indicates a very low probability of unrecoverable bit errors and supports dependable long-term operation in business-critical environments.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface paired with 560 MB/s sequential read lets this drive fully exploit existing server backplanes, accelerating OS boot, image loading, and bulk data access without requiring a platform refresh.
2. With 93,000 random-read IOPS, the SSD can sustain highly concurrent lookup-heavy workloads such as OLTP databases, virtual desktop pools, and metadata-intensive applications with more consistent user responsiveness.
3. A 3 DWPD endurance rating makes it suitable for write-active enterprise roles like caching, logging, and mixed-workload virtualization, where the drive must absorb frequent full-capacity rewrites day after day.
4. Built on 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, it delivers a practical enterprise balance of density, power efficiency, and cost, making it a strong fit for scale-out storage where value per rack unit matters.
5. The 36 µs typical latency helps cut application wait time at the storage layer, improving tail-latency behavior for transaction processing and other latency-sensitive production services.
Lower capacity reference: 120 GB Higher capacity reference: 480 GB Typical same-series performance positioning: 120 GB: roughly similar enterprise SATA performance, about 500 MB/s read, 240–260 MB/s write, and broadly similar mixed/random IOPS for OS and boot workloads 240 GB: about 500 MB/s read, around 260 MB/s write, enterprise-grade random IOPS consistency 480 GB: about 500 MB/s read, 260–290 MB/s write, with random IOPS in the same general class The 240 GB model sits at the sweet spot in this family. Compared with the 120 GB version, it gives noticeably better space headroom for operating systems, logs, patches, and modest application growth, reducing early capacity pressure. Compared with the 480 GB option, it keeps acquisition cost lower while delivering essentially the same enterprise-class SATA performance profile. This makes 240 GB a well-balanced choice for mid-scale deployments, such as providing boot and utility storage for about 35 to 50 virtualization hosts or infrastructure nodes.
Q: Is SSDSC2KG240G8R suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD, 1500 TBW, low 36 µs typical latency, and enterprise features like PLP, SSDSC2KG240G8R is well suited for write-intensive database and transaction-heavy 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 240 GB SSD, that equals about 720 GB 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 sudden power failure, 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 priority. RAID 1 suits high availability, RAID 10 balances performance and redundancy, while RAID 5 or 6 may fit capacity-focused deployments.
