1 Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel
®
Solid-State Drive (SSD)
DC P3700 Series.
P3700 Series is a PCIe* Gen3 SSD architected with the new high performance controller interface –
NVMe* (Non-Volatile Memory express) delivering leading performance, low latency and Quality of
Service. Matching the performance with world-class reliability and endurance, P3700 Series offers a
range of capacity – 400GB, 800GB, 1.6TB and 2TB in both Add-In card and 2.5-inch form factor.
With PCIe Gen3 support and NVMe queuing interface, the P3700 Series delivers excellent sequential
read performance of up to 2.8GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2.0GB/s. P3700 Series
delivers very high random read IOPS of 460K and random write IOPS of 175K for 4KB operations.
Taking advantage of the direct path from the storage to the CPU by means of NVMe, P3700 Series
exhibits low latency of less than 20 μs for sequential access to the SSD.
P3700 Series also includes High Endurance Technology (HET), which combines NAND silicon
enhancements and SSD NAND management techniques to extend SSD write endurance up to 10 drive
writes per day for 5 years.
The 2.5-inch P3700 Series takes advantage of the 8639 connector and provides
hot-pluggable removal and insertion providing in-service replacement options.
P3700 Series includes these key features:
 Consistently High IOPS and throughput
 Sustained low latency
 High Endurance Technology (HET)
 Variable Sector Size and End-to-End data-path protection
 Enhanced power-loss data protection
 Power loss protection capacitor self-test
 Out of band management
 Thermal throttling and monitoring
