Enterprise PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD

The Intel DC P3500 Series SSDPE2MX012T410 is a 1.2TB enterprise solid-state drive built on MLC memory and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. It fits a standard 2.5-inch drive bay and delivers sequential reads up to 2600 MBps with sequential writes up to 1200 MBps. Random 4KB performance reaches 420,000 IOPS for reads and 23,000 IOPS for writes at 20 µs latency.

Read-intensive server workloads

This drive suits read-heavy applications such as web serving, content delivery and virtualised boot volumes where high random-read IOPS and low latency matter. The 15W active power draw and 2,000,000-hour MTBF align with always-on server environments. Builders needing higher sustained write throughput or larger capacities should evaluate alternative drives.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface

The drive requires a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 electrical connection, typically provided by a U.2 backplane or an adapter card in a compatible server chassis. Verify that the target system supplies this interface and supports the 2.5-inch form factor before purchase.

Questions about this item

What slot type and lane width does the SSDPE2MX012T410 require on the host?

The drive uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface, so the motherboard or riser must provide a full x4 electrical link in a compatible slot.

Will the 2.5-inch form factor and 15 W active power draw fit in a legacy server backplane?

The unit is a standard 2.5-inch drive rated at 15 W active and 4 W idle, matching typical enterprise backplane power budgets for that form factor.

How can I verify the SSDPE2MX012T410 is delivering its rated 420000 random read IOPS after installation?

Run a 4 KB random-read test at high queue depth using a tool such as fio; sustained results approaching 420000 IOPS confirm the drive is operating as specified.
