Product brief
Intel® SSD D5-P4320 / D5-P4420
Data Center, PCI Express*
Intel® QLC 3D NAND SSD with PCIe*
Large, Aordable Capacity. Reliable Storage.
Intel delivers the industry’s rst PCIe* QLC 3D NAND SSD for the Data Center1 –
a new generation of large, aordable, and reliable drives
The Intel® SSD D5-P4320 and D5-P4420 deliver big, aordable, and reliable storage
to the warm data tier. With 33% more bits per cell than TLC,2 the Intel® QLC 3D NAND
SSDs enables 3x storage consolidation3 compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), leading
to lower operational costs. As the industry’s rst PCIe*-enabled QLC drive for the data
center, the D5-P4320 provides the ability to scale to large capacities and deliver the
performance needed for storage workload requirements. The D5-P4420 drive oers
double the endurance, supporting an even wider range of workloads.
Store More: Big Capacities Store Massive Quantities of Data
The Intel® QLC technology oers an aerial density advantage of 33% more bits per
cell than the prior generation of Intel® 3D NAND SSDs. The result? Higher capacity,
cost-eective PCIe drives optimized for read-intensive storage workloads. Both the
D5-P4320 and D5-P4420 are currently available in a U.2 form factor with 7.68TB
capacity.
Save More: High Density Reduces Operational Cost
Today’s data center storage often relies on a mix of HDD and SSD technologies. The
Intel® SSD D5-P4320 and D5-P4420 deliver high capacity and lower operational
cost for the capacity or “warm” data storage layer traditionally served by hybrid or
HDD arrays. With its higher density, Intel® QLC 3D NAND SSDs mean fewer drives to
support, power and cool. In addition, Intel® Data Center SSDs have a lower annual
failure rate,4 which further reduces costs.
Do More: PCIe Accelerates Workloads at Large Capacities
All QLC-enabled SSDs are not created equal. In addition to massive capacities, the
D5-P4320 and D5-P4420 are built on the PCIe* interface, which delivers higher
maximum performance than the SATA interface.5 Both SKUs allow for much denser
systems while enabling performance per TB to continue scaling well beyond
SATA-based QLC SSDs. The Intel® QLC SSDs, when combined with Intel® Optane™
technology, accelerate the speed of frequently accessed data, at the price and
capacity of massive storage.
Backed by Intel Experience and Innovation
Intel brings longstanding expertise and leadership in data management to address
the capacity and performance issues of today’s data centers. Prepare for the
future with PCIe Intel® QLC SSDs, backed by Intel’s technology and manufacturing
leadership.
