Compared with SSDSC2KG480G801, the SSDSC2KG480G8 (D3-S4610) advances to a 64-layer 3D TLC platform and delivers a stronger enterprise endurance profile with 3 DWPD and 3000 TBW, making it a better fit for write-intensive virtualization, logging, and database workloads. At 480 GB, it also extracts near-maximum SATA 6Gb/s performance with 560/510 MB/s sequential throughput and up to 96,000/41,000 IOPS, giving engineers a more durable and more responsive drop-in upgrade for legacy SATA server bays.
With an endurance rating of 3000 TBW, the SSDSC2KG480G8 can sustain approximately 3,000,000 GB of total host writes, which is far beyond the write volume generated by a typical OS, boot, or application drive. In practical terms, that equals roughly 820 GB of writes per day for 10 years, so under normal enterprise system-disk workloads, buyers can expect long service life without endurance-related concern. 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 continuity. The enterprise-class UBER rating of 1.0E-17, together with a 2 million hour MTBF, indicates an extremely low probability of unrecoverable read errors and supports strong confidence in long-term data integrity.
1. The SATA 6Gb/s interface, paired with 560 MB/s sequential read performance, provides a drop-in upgrade path for legacy enterprise platforms while accelerating OS boot, backup restore, and large-file retrieval tasks.
2. With 96,000 random read IOPS, the drive sustains responsive performance for virtualization, metadata-heavy workloads, and read-intensive database queries under concurrent access.
3. A 3 DWPD endurance rating makes it well suited for write-active enterprise roles such as logging, caching, and mixed-use transactional environments that demand predictable lifespan.
4. Built on 64-layer 3D TLC NAND, the drive balances enterprise-grade capacity, power efficiency, and cost effectiveness for mainstream data center deployments.
5. The typical latency of 36 µs helps reduce storage wait time, improving application responsiveness and enabling more consistent QoS for latency-sensitive business services.
Lower capacity reference: 300 GB Higher capacity reference: 800 GB In this product family, the 480 GB model sits in a practical sweet spot. Compared with the 300 GB version, it gives noticeably more headroom for OS images, logs, application binaries, and short-term data growth, reducing the risk of early capacity pressure. Compared with the 800 GB option, it usually delivers a more attractive cost-to-capacity balance while keeping broadly similar enterprise SATA performance in sequential throughput and random IOPS. It is especially well suited for medium-scale virtualization clusters, such as hosting boot and utility volumes for about 40 to 60 virtual machines.
Q: Is SSDSC2KG480G8 suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD, 3000 TBW endurance, low 36 µs typical latency, and enterprise features like PLP, SSDSC2KG480G8 is well suited for write-intensive database and transactional workloads.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: This model is rated for 3 full drive writes per day. For a 480 GB SSD, that equals about 1.44 TB of writes daily, typically across a standard 5-year warranty.
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 servers, RAID arrays, and databases.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID 10 is generally the best recommendation for this SSD in performance-sensitive or write-heavy environments, as it provides strong redundancy, fast rebuilds, and better write performance than parity-based RAID.
