Intel Fultondale 3 DC P3600 AIC 2TB

This Intel enterprise SSD uses the Fultondale 3 platform with MLC memory and a PCI-Express 3.0 AIC form factor. It delivers 2TB capacity in a half-height half-length card for server workloads. The drive targets environments that need consistent random performance and high endurance. Power draw stays below 25 watts during write operations and 11 watts during reads.

Suits arrays needing high random read IOPS

Workloads requiring sustained heavy write throughput beyond 56000 IOPS should evaluate other options. Systems without a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot cannot install this half-height card. Buyers who need a 2.5-inch or U.2 form factor must select a different drive design.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 AIC interface

The card occupies a single PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and measures half-height half-length. Verify the server chassis and motherboard provide this slot type and physical clearance. The 2000000-hour MTBF and MLC construction support write-intensive enterprise deployments.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.0 TB AIC version of the DC P3600 or a different capacity?

The 2.0 TB model fits a half-height half-length PCIe 3.0 slot and uses MLC memory for enterprise endurance.

What does the 450,000 IOPS random read figure mean once the drive is installed in a server?

It shows peak 4 KB random read performance over PCIe 3.0 x4; actual throughput depends on queue depth, workload mix and CPU overhead.

Does the PCIe 3.0 interface cap the drive's speed in practice?

The x4 link limits sequential bandwidth to the PCIe 3.0 ceiling, so the controller cannot exceed that ceiling even if the NAND is faster.
