Intel® Solid-State Drive DC P3500 Series
1 Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid State Drive (SSD)
DC P3500 Series.
The Intel SSD DC P3500 Series is a PCIe Gen3 SSD architected with the new high performance controller interface NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) delivering leading performance, low latency and QoS (Quality of Service).
Matching the performance with world-class reliability and endurance, Intel SSD DC P3500 Series offer a range of
capacity – 400GB, 1.2TB, and 2TB in both AIC (Add-In card) and 2.5-inch form factor.
With PCIe* Gen3 support and NVMe queuing interface, the Intel SSD DC P3500 Series delivers excellent sequential
read performance of up to 2.7 GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1800MB/s. Intel SSD DC P3500 Series
delivers very high random read IOPS of 440K and random write IOPS of 68K for 4KB operations. Taking advantage
of the direct path from the storage to the CPU by means of NVMe, Intel SSD DC P3500 Series exhibits low latency
of less than 18 μs for sequential access to the SSD.
The 2.5-inch Intel SSD DC P3500 Series takes advantage of the 8639 connector and provides
hot-pluggable removal and insertion providing in-service replacement options.
Intel SSD DC P3500 Series includes these key features:
Consistently High IOPS and throughput
Sustained low latency
Variable Sector Size and End-to-End data-path protection
Enhanced power-loss data protection
Power loss protection capacitor self-test
Out of band management
Thermal throttling and monitoring

NOTES:
1. Fall time needs to be equal or better than minimum in order to guarantee full functionality of enhanced power loss
management.
2. The drive must be powered off for at least 3 seconds before powering on.
3. Measured during initial power supply application. Typically this will be seen within 2 seconds of initial power up. Inrush
specified for 12V and 3.3V supply, not the 3.3V Aux.
4. 3.3V aux is optional, not needed for power up or functionality. 3.3Vaux is needed for accessing VPD page by means of
SMBUS for both form factors.
Table 10: Power Consumption
NOTES:
1. The workload equates 128KB (131,072 bytes) Queue Depth equal to 128 sequential writes. Average
power is measured using scope trigger over a 100 ms sample period
2. The workload equates 128KB (131,072 bytes) Queue Depth equal to 128 sequential reads.

NOTES: :
1. Operating temperature implies ambient air temperature under defined airflow in Tables 12 and 13.
2. 0-55° C is for airflow from the server towards the card and 0-40° C is for airflow into the server.
3. Please contact your Intel representative for details on the non-operating temperature range.
4. Temperature gradient measured without condensation.
5. Shock specifications assume the SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the
drive-mounting screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Shock specification is measured using Root Mean
Squared (RMS) value.
6. Vibration specifications assume the SSD is mounted securely with the input vibration applied to the
drive-mounting screws. Stimulus may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Vibration specification is measured using RMS
value.

Table 13: Airflow Requirements for Intel SSD DC P3500 Series (2.5-inch Form Factor)
NOTES:
1. It is recommended that airflow for 2.5-inch form factor should be towards the server, from the non-connector
side to the connector side. Airflow is specified across the surface of the drive. Spacing between two SSDs
is assumed to be 3mm.
2. The approach velocity of the airflow will be less than the airflow along the surface. Approach area
of 1.35 ft2 is assumed.
2.5 Product Regulatory Compliance
Intel SSD DC P3500 Series meets or exceeds the regulatory or certification requirements in Table 14.

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 1017 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: 219 TBW
1.2TB: 657 TBW
2.0TB: 1095 TBW
(0.3 drive writes/day*)
2.6 Reliability Specifications
Intel SSD DC P3500 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
Note: Terabytes Written (TBW). Refer to JESD218 standard table 1 for UBER, FFR and other Enterprise SSD
requirements.
2.7 Temperature Sensor
The Intel SSD DC P3500 Series has an internal temperature sensor with an accuracy of +/-2° C over a range
of -10° C to +85° C 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 +/- 3° C over a range of -20° C to 125° C.
SMBUS temperature sensor will not be reported in NVMe Health Log.
May 2015 Product Specification
332164-003US 15
Intel® Solid-State Drive DC P3500 Series
2.8 Power Loss Capacitor Test
The Intel SSD DC P3500 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. Intel SSD
DC P3500 Series supports orderly hot insertion and removal and surprise hot insertion by means of presence
detect and link-up detect. On surprise hot removal during IOs, Intel SSD DC P3500 Series will enable the integrity
of already committed data on the media and commit acknowledged writes to the media.
2.10 Out of Band Management (SMBUS)
Intel SSD DC P3500 Series provides out of band management by means of SMBUS interface. This requires 3.3V
Auxiliary voltage. SMBUS accesses a VPD page as listed in Appendix B through address 0X53.
Temperature sensor is accessed through address 0x1B. For temperature sensor access, temperature can be read by
the BMC (base) using Read Temperature Data Register (0x05) by means of SMBUS 0x1B. Bits [11:0] return raw
ambient temperature.
Host may also see 0x66 address in a bus scan. This is only used for write protecting the EEPROM during
manufacturing.
Note: In certain tools the address for the VPD and temperature sensor will appear as 0xA6 and 0x36 respectively,
due to bit shift.
2.11 Variable Sector Size Support
Intel SSD DC P3500 Series supports 512, 520, 528, 4096, 4104, 4160 and 4224 bytes of sector size. Intel SSD DC
P3500 Series will also support DIF as specified in NVMe 1.0 specification. 520 and 4104 Byte sector sizes can
support PI (protection information) which is 8 Byte long.
In terms of protection information action (PRACT), bit 29 of DWORD12 in READ/WRITE command should not be
equal to 1. Device only supports PRACT=0, implying protection information is passed to the SSD and checked by
the SSD.

NOTES:
SMCLK and SMDAT routes to an internal EEPROM which contains Vital Product Data (VPD).
PRSNT_N is kept open by the P3500 Series.
IfDet_N is grounded by P3500 Series.
DualPortEn_N pin should be left un-connected or un-driven by the system to enable single port operation with
all 4 lanes. If un-connected, P3500 Series will pull it high. However, if the pin is asserted by the system (driven
low by storage backplane), then P3500 Series will be configured as x2 lanes.
Transmit differential pair lanes have 22nF of AC coupling capacitance.
P11 is used for activity. When idle, logic level is low (LED Solid On). During IO activity and formatting,
pin toggles 250msec high, 250msec low signal.
P3500 Series only uses REFCLK0+ and REFCLK0- as reference clock pair.
P3500 Series only uses PERST0# as a fundamental reset.
3.3Vaux is only needed during SMBUS access to the VPDROM.

Sensor Read Out
Register 0x05 on address 0x1B contains the temperature information for the latest readout. Measured temperature
is captured by bit 12 to bit 0. Data format is two’s complement. Bit12 represents sign value, bit11 presents 128° C
and bit0 represents 0.0625° C. Following table gives an example of the read out.
