Consistently Amazing
Premier Performance, Protection, and Optimization for the Data Center
The Intel® Solid-State Drive Data Center Family for PCIe provides breakthrough performance to modernize data center storage from an industry leader.
Breakthrough Performance
Servers can now support more users simultaneously, compute on larger data sets, and address high-performance computing at lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The Intel® Solid-State Drive (SSD) Data Center Family for PCIe brings extreme data throughput directly to Intel® Xeon® processors with up to six times faster data transfer speed than 6 Gbps SAS/SATA SSDs1. The Intel SSD DC Family for PCIe is capable of reading data up to 2.8GB/s and 460k Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and writing up to 2.0GB/s and 175k IOPS.
The performance of a single drive from the Intel SSD DC Family for PCIe, specifically the Intel® Solid-State Drive Data Center P3700 Series (460K IOPS), can replace the performance of 7 SATA SSDs aggregated through an HBA (~500K IOPS). At 200 IOPS per Hard Disk Drive (HDD), 2,300 15K HDDs would be needed to match the performance of one Intel SSD DC Family for PCIe device.
Intel SSD DC Family for PCIe’s consistently amazing performance provides fast, unwavering data streams directly to Intel Xeon processors making server data transfers efficient. SSD performance consistency provides scalable throughput when multiple SSDs are unified into a single storage volume. The massive storage bandwidth increase feeds Intel Xeon processor systems giving data center servers a performance boost.

1. Based on the Intel Solid-State Drive DC P3500, P3600 and P3700 Series Product Specifications. Random I/O Operations based on Thousand (K) IOPS
2. Performance varies by capacity and is measured using IOMeter* with Queue Depth 128, for sequential workload Queue Depth 128 with single worker. For Random workload Queue Depth 32, with 4 workers.
3. Measurements are performed on full span of logical block address (LBA) range on an SSD that is filled to capacity with data. IOPS setup: Intel® CoreTM i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 8GB of system memory, Windows* Server 2012, and IOMeter* tool were used. DC P3700 system performance is configuration dependent. Random performance is collected with 4 workers each with 32 QD.
4. Average latency measured with 4KB sequential I/O at Queue Depth 1
5. Active power measured during execution of Full Sequential Workload with 128KB transfer size, idle power is measured when there is no I/O to SSD.
6. For suggested airflow please refer to the product specification document.
7. Using JESD218 standard with JESD219 workload, Terabytes Written (TBW)
8. SAS/SATA 6 Gbps SSDs are limited to typical throughput up to 550MB/s and 80k IOPS
