Intel DC P3600 800GB enterprise SSD

The Intel DC P3600 is a 2.5-inch PCIe 3.0 solid-state drive built for server workloads. It uses MLC memory to deliver 800GB of capacity with up to 450,000 random read IOPS and 56,000 random write IOPS. The drive targets data centres that need consistent throughput for mixed read and write applications.

15mm 2.5-inch form factor with 8639 connector

The 15mm z-height fits standard 2.5-inch bays and the included 8639-compatible connector allows direct attachment to PCIe backplanes or adapter cards. Active power stays below 25W during writes and 11W during reads, while idle draw is 4W. A 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating reflects the endurance expected in always-on environments.

Upgrade from 6Gbps SAS or SATA SSDs

The PCIe 3.0 interface provides up to six times the bandwidth of 6Gbps SAS and SATA drives, removing the bottleneck that limits multi-user server performance. The jump is worth it when workloads saturate legacy links and the CPU waits on storage. Buyers who need capacities beyond 2TB or a different physical interface should look elsewhere.
