This device is designed to meet the storage requirements of modern data centers and enterprise applications.
Capacity and Technology
The SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610 Series SSD offers a massive storage capacity of 1.6 Terabytes (TB), making it ideal for use in data centers that require large amounts of storage space. It uses Triple Level Cell (TLC) technology to store data, which allows for a high level of data density in each memory cell. TLC technology can store up to three bits of data in each cell, making it more efficient than Single Level Cell (SLC) or Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology.
PCI-E Interface and NVMe Protocol
The SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610 Series SSD uses a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-E) 3.1 x4 interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 32 Gbps. This interface is four times faster than the previous PCI-E 2.0 standard and provides faster data transfer speeds between the SSD and the system’s processor.
Additionally, the SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610 Series SSD uses the Non-Volatile Memory Express-NVMe protocol, which is a high-performance storage protocol designed specifically for SSDs. NVMe allows for faster data transfer speeds, lower latency, and reduced power consumption compared to older storage protocols like SATA.
Read and Write Speeds
The Intel SSDPE2KE016T801 boasts impressive read and write speeds. High read speeds contribute to faster data access, while high write speeds are essential for quickly saving and updating information. This SSD excels in both areas, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from databases to content delivery networks.
Low Latency
Latency is the delay between a request for data and the actual retrieval of that data. The NVMe protocol, employed by the Intel SSDPE2KE016T801, significantly reduces latency, ensuring quick response times. Low latency is crucial for applications where real-time data access is imperative, such as in financial transactions or scientific simulations.
Endurance and Reliability
Enterprises require storage solutions that can withstand constant use. The MLC NAND flash technology in this SSD provides a balance between performance and endurance. MLC typically offers higher program/erase cycles compared to other types of NAND flash, enhancing the drive’s longevity and reliability.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-E) 3.1 x4
One of the key features that contribute to the Intel SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610’s performance is its utilization of PCI-E 3.1 x4 interface. PCI Express (PCI-E) is a high-speed interface standard that facilitates the communication between various hardware components, such as SSDs and the motherboard. The “x4” designation indicates the number of lanes used for data transfer. In this case, the SSD operates with four lanes, providing a wider data pathway and enabling faster data transfer rates.
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) U.2
The NVMe U.2 interface is another noteworthy aspect of the Intel SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610. NVMe is a protocol designed specifically for fast storage devices like SSDs. It replaces the older Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) protocol, which was developed with traditional hard drives in mind. NVMe takes full advantage of the capabilities of SSDs, delivering lower latency and higher I/O performance.
The U.2 form factor refers to the physical design of the drive, with a 2.5-inch form factor. This makes the Intel SSDPE2KE016T801 DC P4610 compatible with existing drive bays and infrastructure designed for traditional hard drives, simplifying integration into existing systems.
