PRODUCT BRIEF
Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3700 Series
Non-Volatile Memory Storage Solutions from Intel
Consistently Amazing
Feed your I/O-starved applications with outstanding
performance, extended endurance, and consistently
low latency.
The Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3700 Series offers the next
generation of data center SSDs combining fast consistent
performance with high endurance, and strong data protection.
Fast and Consistent Performance
Deliver data at a breakneck pace, with consistently low latencies and tight IOPS distribution.
The Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3700 Series delivers superior performance with 4KB random read
performance of up to 75,000 IOPS1 and 4KB random write performance of up to 36,000 IOPS1. With
a 10% input/output operations per second (IOPS)2 distribution and max latencies2 of <500µs for
99.9% of the time, the DC S3700 Series will ensure quick and consistent command response times.
All this performance delivered with low active power consumption (less than or equal to 6 watts1)
means this Intel SSD will help reduce your overall energy costs—making it an excellent value for data
center storage applications upgrades!
Stress-free data protection
Protect your data center applications with multiple secure checkpoints providing protection against
data loss and corruption. The Intel SSD DC S3700 Series combines the following features to provide
an SSD you can count on.
Full End to End data protection. Protects your data from the time it enters the drive to the time it
leaves. The DC S3700 uses an advance error correction scheme that ensures data integrity by
protecting against possible data corruption in the NAND, SRAM, and DRAM memory. The DC S3700
also protects the data in transit through several techniques such as parity checks, Cyclic Redundancy
Checks (CRC) and LBA tag validation. Once an error is detected, an immediate attempt will be made to
correct it, and any uncorrectable error will be reported to the host. To further improve data assurance,
the Intel SSD DC S3700 provides an array of surplus flash memory that caches data to minimize
potential data loss.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Capable. Protects your data from external threats and internal system issues with 256-bit
encryption technology, giving you the peace of mind that your company’s data is secure and safe.
Enhanced Power-Loss Data Protection. Reduces potential data loss by detecting and protecting data from an unexpected
system power loss. The drive saves all cached data in the process of being written before shutting down, thereby minimizing
potential data loss.
High Endurance Technology
Meet your most demanding needs with marathon-like write endurance.
Incorporating High Endurance Technology (HET), the Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3700 Series delivers single-level cell (SLC) solid-
state drive like endurance in a multi-level cell (MLC) SSD package. By combining SSD NAND management techniques and NAND
silicon enhancements, HET enables the DC S3700 to achieve 10 Drive Writes per Day (DWPD) over a 5 year drive life. For the DC
S3700 800GB that’s equivalent to recording over 186 years of HD video over the life of the drive.
