Solid-state drives (SSDs) serve an integral role in data accelera - tion and optimizing storage for an efficient data center. With increasing demands for lower latency and faster throughput, data center SSDs are designed for workload performance. As flash memory technology continues to evolve, SSD design choices should be specific to requirements of a data center application workload to maximize storage optimization in deliv - ering value that can ultimately tie to bottom line improvement.

The S3500 SATA MLC Enterprise Value SSDs for System x® are designed for read-intensive application workloads such as internet, content delivery, and data analytics. The SSDs feature the newest Intel controller and leading-edge 20 nm MLC flash technology that delivers efficient and consistent high perfor - mance for the data center.

Fast and consistent performance

Workloads benefit from a 50 µs typical latency and 4 KB ran - dom read performance of up to 75,000 IOPS. Performance comes with low-active read power (less than 1.3 W) allowing further improvement in data center efficiency with reduced energy costs.

Optimized for efficiency

By combining the latest 20 nm MLC NAND flash memory tech - nology with Intel's latest controller technology, the design of S3500 SATA MLC Enterprise Value SSDs delivers consistent performance, reduced power consumption, and end-to-end data protection as well as being optimized for IOPS/watt and cost/IOPS.

End-to-end data protection

These SSDs help assure integrity of the data lifecycle by pro - tecting against possible data corruption and power loss. Also they protect data in transit and help improve data assurance with data redundancy technology as well as support for AES- 256 encryption.
