The new DC S3500 is Intel’s first real effort to offer an enterprise-class SSD at a price point which can displace 15K RPM hard drives. Unlike its 910 and DC S3700 prdecessors, the DC S3500′s design focuses on optimal read performance -a cornerstone o...
As the SSD market evolves we are beginning to see lower prices slowly cascade down from the mass market into the enterprise and datacenter segments. The pace may have been slow but it has allowed technologies to be refined within less expensive mainstr...

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...

he DC S3500 has exactly the same components as the DC S3700 that we tested in May 2013 – DC S3700 200GB Review - with the exception that the DC S3500 has 20nm MLC NAND and the DC S3700 has 25nm eMLC NAND...
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...

Last year Intel introduced its first truly new SSD controller since 2008. Oh how times have changed since then. Intel's original SSD controller design was dual purpose, designed for both consumer and enterprise workloads. Launching first as the brains beh...
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...

As enterprise SSDs become more specialized and application-focused, Intel is hoping its SSD DC S3500 will strike a chord with customers looking for excellent read performance on a budget. We compare this drive to other notable contenders in its class. T...
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...

When Intel launched their first new SSD controller in years, it took the form of the high end enterprise drive, the DC S3700. The focus was on performance consistency over just about anything else, and it handled its steady state transition better than an...
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...

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...

Compound this with great pricing and a controller that many have been just itching to see in a consumer SSD for some time and Intel just may have unexpectedly stumbled on a new crowd of buyers.Our review of the Intel SSD DC S3700 last year was impressive...
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...
