SSD DC P3700 Series meets or exceeds SSD endurance and data retention requirements as
specified in the JESD218 standard. Reliability specifications are listed in Table 15.
Table 15: Reliability Specifications
Parameter
Value
Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER)
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the
specified number of bits read. In the unlikely event of a non-
recoverable read error, the SSD will report it as a read failure to
the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and is not
returned to the host.
< 1 sector per 10
17
bits read
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
Mean Time Between Failures is estimated based on Telcordia*
methodology and demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration
Test (RDT).
2 million hours
Data Retention
The time period for retaining data in the NAND at maximum rated
endurance.
3 months power-off retention once SSD
reaches rated write endurance at 40° C
Endurance Rating
The number of drive writes such that the SSD meets the
requirements according to the JESD218 standard. Endurance
rating verification is defined to establish UBER <1E-16 at 60%
upper confidence limit.
400GB: 7.3 PBW
800GB: 14.6
1.6TB: 29.2 PBW
2.0TB: 36.5 PBW
(10 drive writes/day*)
Note: Petabytes Written (PBW). Refer to JESD218 standard table 1 for UBER, FFR and other
Enterprise SSD requirements.
2.7 Temperature Sensor
P3700 Series has an internal temperature sensor with an accuracy of +/-2C over a range of -10C to
+85C which can be monitored using NVMe* Health Log.
For more information on sensor reading see SMART attributes section. In addition, drive will provide
out of band access to temperature by means of SMBUS. The sensor has an accuracy of +/- 3C over a
range of -20C to 125C. SMBUS temperature sensor will not be reported in NVMe Health Log.
2.8 Power Loss Capacitor Test
P3700 Series supports testing of the power loss capacitor, which can be monitored using SMART
attribute critical warning in log page identifier 02h, byte 0, bit 4.
2.9 Hot Plug Support
2.5-inch form factor will support surprise hot plug feature in capable platforms and OSs. P3700 Series
supports hot insertion and removal and surprise hot insertion by means of presence detect and link-up
detect. On surprise hot removal during IOs, P3700 Series will ensure the integrity of already
committed data on the media and commit acknowledged writes to the media.
