Intel SSDPEKNW010T8X1 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 QLC internal SSD

Intel 660p 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD

This Intel 660p Series drive provides 1TB of storage in an M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface using the NVMe protocol. The drive uses 3D QLC NAND and operates without a DRAM cache, relying on host memory buffer technology. It is built for everyday consumer workloads in notebooks and desktops.

QLC 3D NAND enables higher density at lower cost

Intel QLC technology packs more bits per cell than TLC, allowing greater capacity in the same physical footprint. The PCIe interface removes the bandwidth ceiling of SATA, delivering up to 1800 MBps sequential read and write. Random performance reaches 150000 IOPS read and 220000 IOPS write. Endurance is rated at 200 TBW with a 1.6 million hour MTBF.

Suits mainstream laptops and desktops needing

This drive fits users who want a large, low-cost NVMe boot or data drive for general computing. It is less suited for sustained heavy write workloads or professional applications that demand consistent high performance and DRAM-backed caching. Those buyers should consider TLC-based alternatives with dedicated DRAM.
