Intel DC P4500 1TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — J30903-101 (Refurbished)
Technical Identity
This enterprise NVMe solid-state drive is the Intel DC P4500 1TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD (P/N J30903-101), a 2.5-inch / 15mm read-intensive data-center SSD sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS in refurbished condition. The DC P4500 belongs to Intel's second-generation 3D-NAND Data Center Family and was engineered for cloud storage, software-defined infrastructure, CDN front-ends, and read-heavy analytics. It uses the U.2 (SFF-8639) connector and runs over a PCIe 3.1 x4 link with NVMe 1.2.

What This Is NOT
NOT a consumer SSD — this is a data-center class drive with power-loss protection and enterprise endurance ratings.
NOT a SATA or SAS drive — it speaks NVMe over PCIe 3.1 x4 only and will not enumerate on SATA/SAS backplanes.
NOT a mixed-use or write-intensive drive — for mixed-use workloads use the Intel DC P4600 (3 DWPD); for write-intensive or low-latency cache use the Intel Optane DC P4800X.
NOT an M.2 or add-in card — it is a 2.5-inch U.2 device and requires a U.2 backplane or a U.2-to-PCIe adapter cable.
NOT a PCIe Gen4 drive — PCIe 3.1 x4 only; for Gen4 successors look at Solidigm D7-P5510 / D7-P5520.
NOT a 7 mm-bay drive — the 15 mm z-height will not fit standard 7 mm 2.5-inch chassis bays.
Compatibility
The Intel DC P4500 J30903-101 is qualified in mainstream OEM platforms with U.2 NVMe backplanes — including Dell PowerEdge R-series (R640 / R740xd / R7515 / R7525), HPE ProLiant DL-series (DL360 / DL380 Gen10 with NVMe SFF kit), Lenovo ThinkSystem SR-series (SR630 / SR650), and Supermicro X11 NVMe chassis. Chassis must provide a 15 mm-clearance bay and route PCIe 3.0/3.1 x4 lanes to the SFF-8639 connector (a PCIe switch or direct CPU PCH attach is acceptable). The drive is supported in VMware ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu Server, Proxmox VE, and Ceph / vSAN clusters using in-box NVMe drivers. For systems without a native U.2 backplane, an SFF-8639-to-PCIe x4 adapter cable (e.g. OCuLink / SlimSAS-NVMe break-out) is required.
FAQ
Q: What are the sequential throughput and IOPS of the Intel DC P4500 1TB J30903-101?
A: The Intel DC P4500 1TB (J30903-101) delivers up to 3,200 MB/s sequential read and 600 MB/s sequential write. Random 4K read IOPS reach 279,500 and random 4K write IOPS reach 30,500. Endurance is 0.75 DWPD (1,380 TBW) over 5 years.
Q: Can the Intel DC P4500 J30903-101 be used in a SATA or 7mm drive bay?
A: No. The Intel DC P4500 J30903-101 is an NVMe drive with a U.2 SFF-8639 connector over PCIe 3.1 x4. It does NOT work in SATA or SAS backplanes. The 2.5-inch variant has a 15mm z-height, which does NOT fit standard 7mm bays. A U.2 NVMe backplane with 15mm clearance is required.
Q: What is the condition of the Intel DC P4500 J30903-101 from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
