The S4500 is an enterprise-class solid state drive designed for use in servers and storage systems. It is offered in capacities such as 480GB and 960GB and targets high-reliability, consistent performance workloads common in data center and enterprise environments.
The S4500 is typically supplied in a 2.5-inch form factor and uses a standard SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface for easy compatibility with many server platforms and storage arrays. Check the specific model datasheet for exact mechanical details.
Yes. The S4500 is intended for use as a direct replacement or upgrade from traditional hard disk drives in servers, offering much lower latency, higher IOPS, and improved power efficiency. Verify physical fit and interface compatibility before installation.
Enterprise-class SSDs like the S4500 provide significantly higher random IOPS and lower latency than HDDs, and solid sequential throughput for server workloads. Exact read/write throughput and IOPS vary by capacity and workload—refer to the product datasheet for measured performance numbers for the 480GB and 960GB SKUs.
The S4500 family is built for continuous operation with enterprise-grade NAND and firmware optimizations. Durability is expressed as endurance (TBW or DWPD) and MTBF; consult the drive’s specification sheet for precise endurance ratings for each capacity.
Enterprise SSDs often include power-loss protection features to protect in-flight data. Confirm whether the specific S4500 model includes on-board power-loss protection components in the official product documentation.
Yes, the S4500 series can be used in RAID arrays. When deploying in RAID, follow best practices for RAID controller compatibility, firmware updates, and rebuild procedures to ensure optimal reliability and performance.
The S4500 typically supports standard SSD management features such as SMART attributes and TRIM (when supported by the OS and controller). It may also support enterprise monitoring and telemetry—check the technical manual for the full list of supported features.
Enterprise drives are rated for extended operating temperature ranges suitable for data centers. Exact operating and non-operating temperature ranges, shock and vibration tolerances are listed in the product datasheet—review those specs for your deployment environment.
Some enterprise SSDs provide hardware-based encryption (e.g., TCG Opal or SED support). Verify whether the specific S4500 model supports hardware encryption and any related key-management features in the product documentation.
Installation is similar to other 2.5-inch SATA drives: power down or follow hot-swap procedures supported by your server, insert the drive into an available 2.5-inch bay or adapter, connect the SATA data and power connectors (or use the backplane), and verify the drive is detected by the system BIOS/RAID controller.
Firmware updates are occasionally provided to improve performance and reliability. Obtain firmware from the vendor or manufacturer and follow their instructions for safe update (typically via vendor utilities, controller firmware update mechanisms, or service procedures). Always back up data before applying firmware updates.
Warranty length and support terms vary by vendor and channel. Enterprise SSDs commonly include multi-year warranties and enterprise support options. Check the seller’s product listing or contact the vendor for the exact warranty period and support policies for the S4500 480GB and 960GB models.
Choose based on capacity needs, performance, and endurance requirements. Higher-capacity enterprise SSDs often deliver better sustained write performance and greater total endurance. Consider your workload’s I/O profile, capacity requirements, and budget when selecting between 480GB and 960GB.
