Product brief
Intel® SSD DC P4610 Series
Data Center (DC), PCI Express* (P), 64-Layer TLC 3D NAND
Cloud Inspired. Storage Optimized.
Designed to meet today’s increasingly demanding service levels and support
broader cloud workloads, while reducing storage costs.
Built from the success of its cloud-inspired predecessor – the Intel® SSD DC P4600
Series – and architected with 64-layer TLC Intel® 3D NAND technology, the Intel®
SSD DC P4610 Series delivers performance, quality of service (QoS), and capacity
improvements to further optimize storage eciency, enabling data centers to do
more per server, minimize service disruptions, and eciently manage at scale.
Built on NVMe* specication 1.2, these PCIe* SSDs are available in 1.6TB, 3.2TB,
6.4TB, and 7.68TB in the U.2 2.5” (15mm) form factor.
An SSD Built for Cloud Storage Architectures
Multi-cloud has become a core element for any enterprise strategy, and top cloud
providers have responded by openly embracing PCIe/NVMe-based SSDs with
scalable performance, low latency, and continued innovation.
As software-dened and converged infrastructures are swiftly adopted, the need
increases to maximize eciency, revitalize existing hardware, deploy new workloads,
and yet reduce operational expenditures.
The SSD DC P4610 Series meets these requirements. It signicantly increases server
agility and utilization, and accelerates applications across a wide range of cloud
workloads.
Do More per Server
Intel’s 64-layer TLC 3D NAND technology enables the DC P4610 to increase available
capacity up to 20% more compared to its immediate predecessor, the Intel SSD DC
P4600.1 This increased density is the key to supporting broader workloads, allowing
cloud and enterprise service providers to increase users, and improve data service
levels. Better QoS is ensured with an intelligent rmware algorithm that keeps host
and background data reads and writes at an optimum balance.
With the DC P4610, host applications will not only have access to higher capacity, but
will also be serviced at up to 35% faster write rate, up to 35% more endurance per
drive, and up to 4x reduction of service time at a QoS metric of 99.99% availability for
random access workload.
With this level of workload ability and agility, data centers can refresh existing
hardware and reduce operational expenditures.

Minimize Service Disruptions
To ensure telemetry information without disrupting ongoing
I/Os, the DC P4610 includes enhanced SMART monitoring of
drive health and status, using an in-band mechanism and outof-band access. A power loss imminent (PLI) protection scheme
– with a built-in self-test – guards against data loss if system
power is suddenly cut.
Coupled with our industry-leading end-to-end data path
protection scheme, PLI features enable ease of deployment into
resilient data centers where data corruption from system-level
glitches is not tolerated.7 The DC P4610 combines rmware
enhancements with new 3D NAND features to prioritize host
workload and ensure better service levels.
Eciently Manage at Scale
To help data centers make the most of increased SSD capacity
per server, dynamic namespace management delivers the
exibility to enable more users and scale deployment. The DC
P4610 also provides security features like TCG Opal* 2.0 and
built-in AES-XTS 256-bit encryption engine, required by some
secure platforms.
With the capability to manage multiple rmware versions on
a drive and to support updates without a reset, the DC P4610
improves integration and increases the ease and eciency of
deploying at scale.
