Solid-state drives (SSDs) serve an integral role in data acceleration and

optimizing storage for an efficient data center. With increasing demands

for lower latency and faster throughput, data center SSDs are being

designed for workload performance. As flash memory technology contin-

ues to evolve, SSD design choices should be made specific to the require-

ments of an application workload to maximize storage optimization in

delivering value that can ultimately tie to bottom line improvement.

The S3700 SATA MLC Enterprise SSDs for IBM® System x® are

designed for write-intensive workloads such as database, HPC, virtualiza -

tion, and Big Data. The SSDs feature the newest Intel controller and

leading edge 25 nm high endurance eMLC flash technology that delivers

consistent high performance with heavy endurance along with end-to- end

data protection for the data center.

Consistent high performance

Workloads benefit from the 50/65 μs typical latency with 4 KB

random read performance of up to 75,000 IOPS and write

performance to 36,000 IOPS. Bandwidth R/W performance is a fast

500 MBps/650 MBps.

High endurance technology

Next generation enterprise-grade SSD technology that is based on

25 nm eMLC flash and Intel’s latest controller technology. Designed for

write-intensive, heavy endurance workloads delivering a 10 DWPD

endurance up to 14.6 PB TBW for 800 GB capacity.
