Intel SSDSC2BB800G601 800GB 2.5" SATA SSD

Name: Intel SSDSC2BB800G601 800GB 2.5" SATA SSD
Brand: Intel
SKU: SSDSC2BB800G601

Overview

The Intel DC S3510 Series SSDSC2BB800G601 is an enterprise-class 2.5-inch solid state drive engineered for environments where data integrity and sustained performance matter most. With 800GB of usable capacity built on MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND flash, this drive offers significantly higher write endurance than consumer-oriented TLC or QLC drives, making it well-suited for always-on server workloads, virtualization hosts, and read-intensive applications like web serving and content delivery. The SATA III (6Gb/s) interface ensures compatibility with the vast majority of existing server and desktop platforms that support standard 2.5-inch drive bays.

Intel designed the DC S3510 with enterprise features that go beyond raw speed. Power-loss data protection safeguards data in transit during unexpected outages — a critical capability in data center environments where unplanned shutdowns can corrupt drives without this protection. The S3510's firmware is mature and well-validated across a wide range of server platforms, reducing the risk of compatibility issues in production deployments. While the SATA interface does limit sequential throughput compared to NVMe alternatives, the S3510 excels in the steady-state mixed and random I/O patterns that define real-world enterprise storage demands, delivering consistent latency and reliable performance over the life of the drive.

The 2.5-inch SATA form factor is being phased out in favor of M.2 and U.2 in newer systems
MLC NAND is no longer widely manufactured, which may affect future replacement availability

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Intel DC S3510 designed for enterprise or consumer use?

The DC S3510 is an enterprise-class SSD built for data center and server workloads, but it works equally well in high-performance personal systems that need reliable, endurance-rated storage.

What type of NAND flash memory does this SSD use?

It uses MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND, which stores two bits per cell. MLC offers a strong balance between write endurance, performance, and storage density compared to TLC or QLC alternatives.

What interface does this drive use, and is it compatible with my system?

The DC S3510 uses a SATA III (6Gb/s) interface in a standard 2.5-inch form factor. It is compatible with any system that has a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay or a 2.5-to-3.5-inch adapter bracket.

What kind of workloads is the DC S3510 optimized for?

The S3510 series is optimized for read-intensive workloads such as web serving, boot drives, and media streaming, while still handling moderate write operations reliably.

Does this SSD include power-loss data protection?

Intel's DC S3510 series includes power-loss data protection features designed to safeguard in-flight data during unexpected power interruptions, which is a key requirement for enterprise deployments.
