Consumer and enterprise, IoT, and data center applications

Intel has launched a new family of Intel® 3D NAND-based SSDs across a range of categories to meet the needs of consumer, enterprise, IoT, and data center applications.

“This new SSD family represents the culmination of Intel’s 30-year commitment to memory and our long-term plan to transition to more cost-effective storage products based on our innovative and reliable 3D NAND technology,” said Bill Leszinske, vice president of strategic planning, marketing and business development for Intel’s Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG).

He continued, "Intel possesses differentiated technological competitiveness that can simultaneously meet the needs of diverse markets, from general consumers to enterprises, IoT, and data centers. With the launch of this new 3D NAND SSD product line, we are able to expand the scope of PCI Express (PCIe) solutions while providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). Through this product line, Intel will actively support customers in accelerating user experiences, improving application and service performance, and lowering IT costs."

For consumer and enterprise use, the Intel® SSD 600p Series is designed for the consumer desktop and notebook market. The SSD 600p series delivers PCI Express (PCIe) performance at an entry-level price point, while also delivering powerful performance that far surpasses conventional hard drives. The SSD 600p series utilizes the NVMe standard for direct CPU connection (PCIe Gen 3x4), delivering up to 17x the performance of conventional hard drives and up to 3x the performance of SATA SSDs.

The Intel® SSD Pro 6000p Series targets the business client market for enterprise notebooks and desktops. Optimized for energy-efficient performance and current and future Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor-based systems, the SSD Pro 6000p Series offers enterprise-level security and manageability features for IT administrators and business users. The Pro 6000p Series leverages PCIe for performance and is designed with the highest quality and reliability standards to help businesses reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Intel® SSD DC P3520 Series for data centers is built on the Intel Data Center PCIe SSD family and is optimized for cost-effective performance. This product is ideal for read-intensive applications in cloud computing environments, such as storage virtualization and web hosting. Intel PCIe SSDs based on 3D NAND technology may be a more affordable option when building multiple NVMe-enabled storage arrays required for processing large data sets.

The Intel® SSD DC S3520 Series delivers the right price/performance for data centers, delivering significantly lower latency and improved throughput (the amount of digital data transferred per unit time) compared to traditional hard disk drives. The SSD DC S3520 is ideal for customers transitioning from hard disk drives to SATA SSDs for the first time.

The Intel® SSD E 6000p Series for the Internet of Things (IoT) works with current and future Intel Core vPro processor families to deliver enhanced security and manageability features for IoT applications such as point-of-sale (POS) devices and digital signage. Available in PCIe and M.2 form factors, it offers enhanced flexibility.

The Intel® SSD E 5420s Series offers additional data protection features, ensuring reliable read and write operations for complete security even during power loss. Utilizing SATA technology, this product delivers improved performance compared to conventional hard drives in IoT applications.

The new SSD series recently announced by Intel features Intel 3D NAND technology. More information about Intel 3D NAND SSDs can be found at intel.com/SSD.
