Intel Solid-State Drive DC S3500 Series
Consistently amazing

Overview:

The Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series combines fast, consistent read performance with strong data protection and low active power levels to provide superior quality of service for video conferencing, big data analytics, or virtual client applications. Consistently low read latencies of 50µs typical (500µs max for 99.9% of the time) along with a tight distribution of up to 75,000 input/output per second (IOPS)¹ delivers a high-performance, reliable, and efficient SSD specifically designed for data center application upgrades.

Key features and benefits of this drive include an Intel^® 3rd generation controller, industry-leading 20nm multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, full end-to-end data protection, enhanced power-loss data protection, and a broad range of capacities up to 800GB.

Premier Performance, Protection, and Optimization for the Data Center
The Intel^® Solid-State Drive DC S3500 Series offers the next generation of data center SSDs combining fast consistent read performance with strong data protection, and leading edge 20nm flash technology.

Fast and Consistent Performance
Deliver data at a rapid pace, with consistently low latencies and tight IOPS distribution.
The Intel^® Solid-State Drive DC S3500 Series delivers superior Quality of Service for applications such as video streaming/conferencing, virtual client support, and big data analytics. All of these applications benefit from 50µs typical latency with max read latencies² of 500µs for 99.9% of the time and 4KB random read performance of up to 75,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS)¹. Performance delivered with low active read power (less than 1.3 watts¹) means this Intel SSD helps improve data center efficiency with reduced energy costs—making it an excellent value for data center storage application upgrades!

Stress-free Data Protection
Protect your data center applications with multiple security checkpoints providing protection against data loss and corruption. The Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series combines the following features to provide an SSD you can count on.

Full End-to- End Data Protection. Protects your data from the time it enters the drive to the time it leaves. The Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series uses an advance error correction scheme that ensures data integrity by protecting against possible data corruption in the NAND, SRAM, and DRAM memory. The Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series also protects the data in transit through several techniques such as parity checks, Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) and LBA tag validation. Once an error is detected, an immediate attempt will be made to correct it, and any uncorrectable error will be reported to the host. To further improve data assurance, the Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series provides data redundancy technology to minimize potential data loss.

Product Spotlight

• Fast and Consistent Performance
• Full End to End Data Protection
• Enhanced Power-Loss Data Protection
• Latest 20nm MLC NAND Flash Memory Technology
• Intel based controller technology

Enhanced Power-Loss Data Protection. Reduces potential data loss by detecting and protecting data from an unexpected system power loss. The drive saves all cached data in the process of being written prior to shutting down, thereby reducing potential data loss.

Optimized for Efficiency
Reduce the strain on tight IT budgets with leading Intel technologies. By combining the latest 20nm Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology with Intel’s latest SSD controller technology, the Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series delivers fast and consistent performance, reduced power consumption and stress-free data protection. Optimize your dollars per IOP, energy costs, and floor space in your data center with the amazingly efficient Intel^® SSD DC S3500 Series.
