Intel has rolled out high performing solid-state drive (SSD), the Intel X-25E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive, aimed at server, workstation and storage systems. The SSDs contain no moving parts and instead feature 50nm single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory technology.
Key technical performance specifications of the 32 GB Intel X-25E SATA SSD include 35,000 IOPS (4KB Random Read), 3,300 IOPS (4KB Random Write) and 75 microsecond read latency. The product also achieves up to 250 megabytes per second (MB/s) sequential read speeds and up to 170 MB/s sequential write speeds, all in a compact 2.5-inch form factor.
"Intel's high-performance SSDs unleash the full performance of the latest Intel Xeon processor-based systems while increasing reliability and lowering the total cost of ownership for a broad range of server and storage workloads." said Kirk Skaugen, general manager, Intel Server Platforms group.
Intel says the 32GB X25-E is capable of writing up to 4 petabytes (PB) of data over three-year period (3.7 TB/day). The new 32 GB SSD is available for $695.
