Intel today announced the new SSD DC P4510 / P4511 family of SSDs, designed for the data center market with its powerful specifications and forthcoming SSDs with new interfaces.
The SSD DC P4510 Series is Intel's first enterprise-class SSD with its own 64-layer stacked 3D TLC flash memory With the same features as the previous P45xx / P46xx series, the main controller is claimed to increase the capacity of each server up to 4x, random read latency up to 10x, and service quality reliability up to 99.99%.
New hard disk is only available 2.5 inch 15 mm U.2 interface A style that supports PCI-E 3.1 x4, NVMe 1.2, Capacity 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 8TB , Random read and write speed of 2.85-3.2GB / s, 1.1-3GB / s, random read and write performance of 469000-625500 IOPS, 72000-139500 IOPS, standby power consumption of 5W, read and write 10-16W, 0.7-1.1 times daily support Write, provide 5 year warranty.
Particularly worth mentioning is that, P4510 series also supports two new technologies, one is VMD (Volume Management Device), Support for hot-plugging from the PCI-E bus replacement NVMe SSD, without shutting down the system, and secondly VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU), A brand new software package for use with VMD processor hardware for RAID volume management.
Both of them need to work with the latest Intel Xeon Extensible Platform to enable NVMe RAID.
P4510 1 / 2TB already quietly shipped in August last year, 4 / 8TB now shipping.
The SSD DC P4511 series is a low-power product and will be available by the end of the second quarter of this year with the M.2 22110 interface. More details are not yet available.
but, Intel stressed that the P4511 series will be equipped with a new EDSFF (Enterprise & Datacenter Storage Form Factor) interface codenamed Ruler.
This is the new SSD interface that Intel proposed last year, designed for the data center highly effective design, can get rid of various restraints of the old interface in the past, not only support PCI-E 3.0, still support PCI-E 4.0 / 5.0 of the future.
Currently, Intel, Samsung, Microsoft, Facebook, Dell, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard And so are finalizing the EDSFF interface specification, of course, have a new name.
IBM, Tencent Other customers are also testing the preview version of the EDSFF interface SSD for more than a year.
Intel emphasizes, This new SSD provides up to 1PB (1000TB) of capacity in 1U of server space.
