Capacity and audience

This Intel DC P3600 enterprise SSD provides 1.6TB of MLC storage in a 2.5-inch form factor. It targets data-centre workloads that demand consistent random read performance and high endurance. The drive connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface using an included 8639-compatible connector.

Interface throughput limits

The PCIe 3.0 x4 link caps sequential throughput at up to 2600 mbps read and 1600 mbps write. Random 4 KB performance reaches up to 450,000 IOPS read and 56,000 IOPS write, so queues deeper than the controller can sustain will not scale further.

Build and connector implications

The 15 mm height fits standard 2.5-inch bays while the 8639 connector ensures compatibility with existing enterprise backplanes. Active power stays below 25 W during writes and 11 W during reads, with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating underlining long-term reliability.

Highlights

  • Up to 2600 MB/s sequential read for fast data access
  • Up to 1600 MB/s sequential write for rapid data storage
  • 450,000 IOPS random read for responsive transactional workloads
  • 56,000 IOPS random write for sustained write performance
  • 2,000,000 hours MTBF for enterprise-grade reliability

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.6TB model or a different capacity for my server?

This part number SSDPE2ME016T401 is the 1.6TB capacity. Other capacities carry different part numbers; select the one that matches your storage requirement.

What does the 2600 MB/s read figure mean once the drive is installed?

Up to 2600 MB/s sequential read is the peak NVMe throughput over PCIe 3.0 x4; real-world speed depends on workload, queue depth and system configuration.

Which interface standard does the drive use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses PCI Express 3.0 x4 with NVMe, capping sequential transfers at up to 2600 MB/s read and 1600 MB/s write.
