Intel 750 Series 400GB U.2 NVMe SSD — H58397-204 (Refurbished)
Technical Identity
This enterprise-class NVMe solid-state drive is the Intel 750 Series 400GB U.2 NVMe SSD (H58397-204), a refurbished 2.5-inch PCIe storage device sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS. The Intel 750 Series is a prosumer/workstation-class NVMe SSD built on the same controller platform as the Intel DC P3600 enterprise drive, but with client-oriented firmware and lower endurance ratings. Condition: Refurbished — tested and verified by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
Engineering Context
The Intel 750 Series 400GB (H58397-204) delivers sequential read throughput up to 2,200 MB/s and sequential write throughput up to 900 MB/s over its PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. Random 4K read performance reaches up to 430,000 IOPS and random 4K write performance reaches up to 230,000 IOPS. The drive uses Intel-Micron 20nm MLC NAND flash with read/write latency of approximately 20 µs. Endurance is rated at 219 TBW (approximately 70 GB writes per day over 5 years). Active power consumption is 12W with 4W at idle. The 750 Series was Intel's first consumer/prosumer NVMe SSD, preceding the Intel 760p and Solidigm P44 Pro.
Deployment & Use Cases
The Intel 750 Series 400GB is deployed in workstation storage for content creation, engineering simulation, and CAD/CAM workloads where NVMe throughput eliminates SATA bottlenecks. It serves as a high-performance server boot drive in environments where full enterprise endurance (DC P3600/P3700 class) is not required. Common deployments include CI/CD build systems, development servers, VMware ESXi boot volumes, and ZFS ZIL/SLOG devices in NAS appliances. The 400GB capacity point is appropriate for OS partitions, application binaries, and working-set caching rather than bulk data storage.

What This Is NOT
This is NOT a SATA SSD — it uses the NVMe protocol over PCIe 3.0 x4.
This is NOT a SAS drive — it does not work in SAS backplanes.
This is NOT an M.2 SSD — the form factor is 2.5-inch U.2 (SFF-8639), 15mm z-height.
This is NOT a fully enterprise-rated SSD — the 750 Series uses client-optimized firmware and lacks DC P3600/P3700 enterprise features such as power-state transitioning and multi-namespace support.
This is NOT an HHHL add-in card variant — those ship under a different part number (SSDPEDMW400G4).
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
The Intel 750 Series H58397-204 requires a U.2 NVMe-capable drive bay with SFF-8639 connector or a U.2-to-PCIe adapter card. It does NOT work in SATA backplanes, SAS backplanes, or M.2 slots. The 2.5-inch variant has a 15mm z-height, which does NOT fit standard 7mm 2.5-inch bays — verify chassis clearance before deployment. The 750 Series is discontinued by Intel; current-generation successors include the Solidigm P44 Pro (consumer) and Solidigm D7 series (enterprise). Verified host environments include Linux (kernel 4.x+ with native NVMe driver), Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2016+, and VMware ESXi 6.5+ with NVMe support.
FAQ
What are the read and write IOPS of the Intel 750 Series 400GB SSD H58397-204?
The Intel 750 Series 400GB (H58397-204) delivers up to 430,000 random 4K read IOPS and up to 230,000 random 4K write IOPS. Sequential throughput reaches 2,200 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write over its PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface.
Can the Intel 750 Series H58397-204 be installed in a SATA or 7mm drive bay?
No. The Intel 750 Series H58397-204 is an NVMe drive with a U.2 SFF-8639 connector. It does NOT work in SATA or SAS backplanes. Additionally, the 2.5-inch variant has a 15mm z-height, which does NOT fit standard 7mm bays. A U.2 NVMe backplane or PCIe adapter with 15mm clearance is required.
