Features

The Intel S4500 Entry SATA SSDs have the following features:

2.5-inch or 3.5-inch form factors
Cost-effective Intel 3D NAND TLC Flash Memory
Endurance of 1 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years, using Intel Standard Endurance Technology (SET).
SATA TLC solid-state drive with high read performance and consistently low latencies to fulfill client needs in the enterprise space
High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
Energy savings, with 5.6 W typical power consumption per drive
Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server
S.M.A.R.T. support
Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
Full end-to-end data path protection
Thermal throttling to extend the life of the drive
Enhanced power loss data protection

SSDs have a huge but finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which affect how long they can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Enterprise Entry SSDs typically have a better cost per read IOPS ratio but lower endurance and performance compared to Enterprise Performance SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase cycles that the drive can incur over its lifetime, which is listed as total bytes written (TBW) in the device specification.

The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device does not fail upon reaching the specified TBW. However, at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive reaches the end-of-life point, at which time the drive goes into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, careful planning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive is not exceeded before the required life expectancy.

For example, the S4500 Entry 960 GB drive has an endurance of 1,860 TB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 1,019 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 1.1 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 1,699 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 1.8 full drive writes per day.

Operating system support

SAS and SATA SSDs operate transparently to users, storage systems, applications, databases, and operating systems.

Operating system support is based on the controller used to connect to the drives. Consult the controller product guide for more information:

RAID controllers: https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/raid
SAS HBAs: https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/hba

Warranty

The Intel S4500 Entry SATA SSDs carry a one-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When the SSDs are installed in a supported server, these drives assume the servers’s base warranty and any warranty upgrades.

Solid State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program/erase cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid state device has a maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. The warranty for Lenovo solid state drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the SSD product. A drive that reaches this limit may fail to operate according to its Specifications.

Physical specifications

The drives have the following physical specifications (approximate, without the tray):

Height: 7 mm (0.3 in.)
Width: 70 mm (2.8 in.)
Depth: 100 mm (4.0 in.)
Weight: 63 g (2.2 oz lb) (66 g for the 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB drives)

Shipping dimensions and weight - 2.5-inch drives (approximate, including the tray):

Height: 63 mm (2.5 in.)
Width: 174 mm (6.9 in.)
Depth: 133 mm (5.2 in.)
Weight: 434 g (1.0 lb)

Shipping dimensions and weight - 3.5-inch drives (approximate, including the tray):

Height: 95 mm (3.7 in.)
Width: 257 mm (10.1 in.)
Depth: 193 mm (7.6 in.)
Weight: 484 g (1.1 lb)

Operating environment

The SSDs are supported in the following environment:

Temperature: 0 - 70°C (32 - 158°F)
Relative humidity: 5 - 95% (noncondensing)
Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)

Agency approvals

The Intel S4500 Entry SATA SSDs conform to the following regulations:

FCC Title 47, Part 15B, Class B
CA/CSA-CEI/IEC CISPR 22:02
EN 55024: 1998
