Enterprise PCIe 3.0 AIC SSD

The Intel DC P3600 Fultondale 3 add-in card delivers 1.6TB of MLC storage over a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 slot. It targets servers and workstations that need consistent low-latency performance without a U.2 backplane.

Sustained workload behaviour

Random read IOPS reach up to 450000 while random write IOPS reach up to 56000 under steady load. Active power stays below 25W during writes and below 11W during reads, with idle draw at 4W. MTBF is rated at 2000000 hours.

Half-height half-length build

The HHHL bracket fits a single full-height slot and ships with a single-slot x4 connector. MLC memory and the Intel controller provide enterprise-grade endurance for write-intensive applications.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Intel DC P3600 AIC draw when writing continuously all day?

Active write power is listed as under 25W, while idle power sits at 4W, so sustained write workloads will stay below the 25W ceiling.

What motherboard slot is required to install this half-height half-length add-in card?

The drive uses a single x4 PCI-Express 3.0 connector and fits any half-height half-length slot wired for x4 or wider.

Will the 1.6TB MLC drive work alongside older PCIe 2.0 slots in my server?

The card is built for PCI-Express 3.0 x4; it will function in a 2.0 slot but at reduced bandwidth.
