Solidigm D3-S4620 3.84TB SATA III 2.5"
The 3.84TB capacity pairs with 550 MB/s reads and 510 MB/s writes, while the 35.1 PBW endurance rating and 5-year warranty target heavy write workloads. Its 2.5-inch SATA form factor fits most servers and workstations without requiring new hardware. This drive suits data center operators or IT admins managing write-intensive applications like logging or caching, not portable use.

Aperçu
The 30-Second Version
The Solidigm D3-S4620 is a 3.84TB SATA SSD with best-in-class endurance at 35,100 TBW, but middling speed. It's built for servers and write-heavy workstations, not gamers. Prices swing from $2,499 to $4,154, so shop carefully if you actually need this kind of durability.
Pros & Cons
Points forts
- Endurance rating is the best we've seen, 35,100 TBW is absurd 100th
- 3.84TB of capacity in a standard 2.5-inch form factor 88th
- 5-year warranty backs up the durability claims
- SATA compatibility means it drops into almost any system
Points faibles
- SATA III speeds feel ancient next to modern NVMe drives
- Random performance is a weak spot even for SATA
- Pricing is all over the place and generally steep
- Feature set is bare bones, no fancy extras here
Les preuves
Performance
Sequential reads top out at 550 MB/s and writes at 510 MB/s, which is the ceiling for SATA III. That puts it in the 32nd percentile for speed, so it's not winning drag races against any NVMe drive. Random performance is even rougher at the 23rd percentile. But the endurance is the whole point: 35,100 TBW lands it in the 100th percentile. This thing is rated to absorb writes for years without breaking a sweat.

vs Competition
Against the Samsung 9100 PRO, WD Black SN850X, Kingston FURY Renegade G5, Crucial T500, and SanDisk WD_BLACK SN8100, this drive loses every speed test by a mile. Those are all NVMe drives with 7,000+ MB/s reads, while the D3-S4620 is stuck at 550 MB/s. But none of them come close to 35,100 TBW endurance. The Samsung and WD drives are better for gamers and creators who want fast load times. The Solidigm is for servers and workstations that chew through writes daily.

Prix
Value & Pricing
Value is tricky because the price swings wildly. US listings range from $2,499 to $4,154, which is a massive spread for the same drive. The lower end of that range is still expensive for 3.84TB of SATA storage, but you're paying for the endurance rating, not the speed. If you can find it closer to $2,499, it makes more sense for write-heavy workloads. At $4,154, you'd better really need that TBW rating.
En savoir plus
Overview
The Solidigm D3-S4620 is a 3.84TB SATA SSD aimed at servers and workstations that need to write data constantly without dying. It's not fast by modern NVMe standards, but it's built like a tank. The endurance rating is the real story here, and it's basically untouchable.
This drive sits in a weird spot for regular shoppers. It's a data center part showing up in consumer retail listings, and the price reflects that. You're paying for longevity, not speed.
Common Questions
Q: Is this drive good for gaming?
No. The 550 MB/s read speed is fine for older games but will feel sluggish loading modern titles compared to any NVMe drive. You'd be paying a huge premium for endurance you won't use.
Q: Why is this SATA drive so expensive?
You're paying for the 35,100 TBW endurance rating, which is the highest we've seen in this category. It's designed for data center and enterprise use where drives get hammered with writes 24/7.
Q: Will this work in a standard desktop PC?
Yes, it's a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive, so it'll fit in most desktops and laptops that support SATA III. Just don't expect NVMe-level performance.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you're a gamer, content creator, or everyday user. The speed is mediocre and the price is brutal for what you get. You'd be far better off with a 4TB NVMe drive like the WD Black SN850X or Crucial T500, which will cost less and run circles around this thing in every real-world task. If you don't write terabytes of data daily, you're paying for endurance you'll never touch.
Verdict
This is a niche drive for a niche buyer. If you're running a server, a surveillance system, or a workstation that writes constantly, the D3-S4620 is a fantastic choice. The endurance rating means you won't be replacing it anytime soon. If you're a gamer or everyday user looking for fast boot times and snappy app launches, look elsewhere. You'd be paying a premium for durability you'll never use.
