Intel DC S3520 150GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5 inch enterprise SSD, a compact hot-plug boot drive for servers and workstations, refurbished.
The Intel DC S3520 is a data centre SATA SSD series built for read intensive duty, and the 150GB model is its smallest capacity: a 2.5 inch drive on a 6Gb/s interface with hot-plug support, power loss protection and Intel's enterprise firmware. It is the drive ServerDove fits in pairs to its own StoreEasy storage servers as the operating system volume, and it is offered here for the same role in any server or workstation. It is refurbished and sold bare. Buyers in Qatar use the S3520 150GB as a boot mirror for a hypervisor or a storage server, where a small, dependable flash drive keeps the operating system separate from the storage arrays. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock.
SSD-INTEL-150G-S3520Form factor 2.5 inch SFFSpecification
The S3520 series is rated for around one full drive write per day, which for a boot volume is effectively unlimited, and its power loss protection and consistent latency are what make it suitable for a hypervisor's system disk where a consumer drive would risk corruption on a power cut. At 150GB it holds an operating system with years of updates and logs; it is not intended for data. Two of them in RAID 1 on the server's controller is the standard layout, and they draw very little power.
For a storage server the arrangement is worth the two bays it takes: with the operating system on its own SSD mirror, the large data arrays can be rebuilt, expanded or moved to another chassis without touching the boot volume, and a failed boot drive is replaced in minutes with no effect on stored data.
Installation
Mount the drive in the server's 2.5 inch hot-plug caddy, not included, and insert it into a bay with the server running; the controller detects it and a mirror can be created from the RAID utility or the management interface. For a workstation, fit it with a SATA cable and a 2.5 inch bracket. Install the operating system on the mirror after it is created, not before, so both drives are protected from the first boot.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.

New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
