Dell is selling servers with LITEON IT ECT 480 N9S SSDs. I have no experience with LITEON SSDs and can only find very limited information about the LITEONs online.

I have seen the brief fact sheet on the drive, but one thing is the official numbers, another is real-life performance.

Do you use LITEON SSDs in production on high-load servers, and if so, how do they compare to Intel DC drives with regards to performance and longevity?

  • Why are you asking the internet? Return the drives and request the SSDs you were expecting.

  • Why? Because if they turn out to be better drives I would be OK with it, but I can find no benchmarks of them anywhere. That's why I ask if someone here has experience with that model - or perhaps LITEON SSDs in general.

Here are the data sheets for the two drives:

Intel S3500

LiteOn

basically the LiteOn drive is slightly less performant, lower numbers in IOPS and Read/Write. Also I don't see write lifetime for the LiteOn, but the Intel is rated at 275TBW.

Generally the Intel looks like a slightly better drive.

That said, if you where expecting Intels and got Liteons you should contact Dell and ask them to ship you the part you ordered.
