Intel has announced a new line of powerful SSD that combine PCI Express with NVM Express (NVMe) technology for substantial performance gains over SATA SSDs and traditional hard disk drives. The Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe are designed to meet the increasing needs for high-performance, consistent, and reliable storage solutions in the data center, all the while helping to lower total cost of ownership. The new line includes the Intel SSD DC P3700 Series for write-intensive applications, the Intel SSD DC P3600 Series for mixed workloads, and the Intel SSD DC P3500 Series for read-heavy uses.
The new Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe addresses the issues of the massive growth of data, expanding databases, and massive computational and storage needs with high performance that improves processor utilization and scales to address performance and capacity needs. Higher throughput and reduced latency result in faster access to data and improved storage utilization of drives, which lowers total cost of ownership.
The Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe uses the PCIe 3.0 specification as well as a new high-performance PCIe interface controller architected with NVMe. This technology allows for consistent performance to overcome storage bottlenecks in the data center. Additionally, NVMe technology was designed with PCIe-based SSDs in mind, which eliminates much of the latency caused by legacy HDD interfaces.
Other features include:
All drives are backed by Intel’s five-year limited warranty and have an average time between failures of 2 million hours, or more than 228 years. The P3700 Series offers 10 full-drive writes per day over the life of the drive, which totals to 36 petabytes, or 459 years of high-definition video. For less demanding sequential workloads, the P3600 Series delivers three drive-writes per day, and the P3500 Series offers 0.3 drive writes per day.
Specifications
The Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe will be available in a small 2.5-inch form factor (SFF-8639) for hot-swappable front panel serviceability and an add-in card form factor for broad compatibility with existing PCIe-based systems.
Availability
The Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe are available in 400GB, 800GB, 1.2TB (P3500 and P3600 only), 1.6TB and 2TB through Intel distributors and resellers at a starting MSRP of $560.
