The first Intel SSD with 3D NAND and many new SSD series for servers, the Internet of Things and others

In late March, Intel held a conference Cloud Day, which reported on their success in the field of cloud technology and presented its plans for the future. Among other things, nearly a dozen new SSD series were announced for professional use, to many of which the word “for the first time” applies. I suggest all interested to view the list below - some of the new products will almost certainly be useful to you for future projects.

The main technological innovation is the DC P3320 series, the first Intel SSDs using 3D NAND technology. It is here that a breakthrough in the cost in terms of capacity is expected. D3700 and D3600 Series - Intel 's first dual-port PCI Express SSD; They use the NVM Express protocol and are designed for high-load storage systems. Choosing a budget solution is addressed to the DC S3100 series, the first for Intel, using three-level cell technology (TLC) . The classic lines of universal SSD 540s and 5400s offer a wide variety of capacities (both series are also available in the M2 form factor). The fundamentally new E 5400s and E 5410s series are designed for embedded solutions and the “Internet of things”; they are equipped with Power Loss Imminent (PLI) , which significantly reduces the risk of data loss in case of power failure.

For clarity, we present the characteristics of new products in the form of a table. For each series, I took one SSD, for definiteness, the largest volume.
