2.1 Capacity
Table 1. User Addressable Sectors
Intel SSD DC S3500
Unformatted Capacity
(Total User Addressable Sectors in LBA Mode)
Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count shown represents total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the life of the drive.
The total usable capacity of the SSD may be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion of the capacity is
used for NAND flash management and maintenance purposes.

Notes: 1. Performance measured using Iometer* with Queue Depth 32. Measurements are performed on a full Logical Block
Address (LBA) span of the drive.
2. 4 KB = 4,096 bytes
3. 8 KB = 8,192 bytes
4. Performance consistency measured using Iometer* based on Random 4KB QD=32 workload, measured as the (IOPS in
the 99.9th percentile slowest 1-second interval)/(average IOPS during the test). Measurements are performed on a full
Logical Block Address (LBA) span of the drive once the workload has reached steady state but including all background
activities required for normal operation and data reliability
