Abstract: Intel lent us six SSD DC S3500 drives with its home-brewed 6 Gb/s SATA controller inside. We match them up to the Z87/C226 chipset's six corresponding ports, a handful of software-based RAID modes, and two operating systems to test their performance. In...
Abstract: Intel has pushed out many SSDs over the years, and unlike many manufacturers, they have never stopped heavily pushing SSD in the enterprise. They did so with their very first push of the X25-M / X25-E, where they seemingly came out of nowhere and ju...

Even enthusiasts are unlikely to round up six identical SSDs and drop them on a Z87- or C226-based motherboard. But it's nice to know that Intel makes this possible. While there were a lot of folks who felt stifled by the fact that previous-gen platform c...
For its target market the DC S3500 offers a solid value proposition with its bargain basement pricing (I found the 480GB listed on newegg.com for 649.99 USD). It offers a fully featured, power efficient Enterprise drive with strong and consistent performance, especially for read intensive applications...
Latency figures in our 4k and 8k workloads were generally near the top, Top performance of tested SSDs including S3700 for our real-world Mark Logic testing, Very consistent latency in application workloads
S3500 not offered in higher over-provisioned models
The Intel SSD DC S3500 is an enterprise-class SSD designed to take on read-intense workload applications such as cloud computing or web hosting. The drive interfaces over SATA 6Gb/s and utilizes Intel 20nm MLC NAND, and it ships in both 2.5" slim and ...
Read Performance, Power Loss Data Protection, 5 Year Warranty, Competitive Pricing
Write Performance Trailed Some Competing Drives
The 480GB Intel SSD DC S3500 series drive we featured here offered very good performance throughout out testing. Read performance was competitive with all of the other drives we tested in all but the IOMeter benchmarks. Write performance, however, whi...
In our first high level look, Intel's SSD DC S3500 looks to be everything we loved about the S3700 but at a more affordable price point for enterprise customers who don't need insane amounts of write endurance. With SSDs in the enterprise there's this ten...

The DC S3500 hints at what I think we might expect to see from Intel in terms of an all new consumer SSD. While it still packs some serious hardware, it is one step down from the DC S3700 it resides next to. The move from 25nm HET MLC to 20nm M...
On paper and in the lab, Intel's SSD DC S3500 is, hands down, superior to the SSD 320 family it replaces. It's so much better, in fact, that we didn't even include the SSD 320 in our comparison. There are two reasons for this. First, IT professionals buyi...

With the release of the Intel SSD DC S3500, Intel is entering a sector that was once dominated by consumer drives masquerading as enterprise drives. These read intensive environments don't need high priced, high endurance NAND. They need to be read opti...
