Product brief
Intel® SSD DC P4610/P4618
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—
and architected with 64-layer TLC Intel® 3D NAND technology, the Intel® SSD DC
P4610 and Intel® SSD DC P4618 deliver 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.
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 SSD DC
P4610/P4618 meets the need to maximize eciency, revitalize existing hardware,
and accelerate applications across a wide range of cloud workloads, all while reducing
operational costs.
Do More per Server
Intel’s 3D NAND technology enables the SSD DC P4610 to increase available capacity
up to 20% more compared to its immediate predecessor, the 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 SSD DC P4610, host applications not only have access to higher capacity,
but are also serviced at up to 35% faster write rate,2 up to 35% more endurance per
drive,3 and up to 4x reduction of service time at a QoS metric of 99.99% availability
for random access workload.
With the SSD DC P4618, write bandwidth is doubled and endurance is increased 50%
over Intel® SSD DC P4608.

Minimize Service Disruptions
To ensure telemetry information without disrupting ongoing I/Os, the SSD DC P4610/
P4618 includes enhanced SMART monitoring of drive health and status, using an
in-band mechanism and out-of-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.5 The SSD DC P4610/P4618 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 SSD 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.
