Intel unveils new SSDs for data centers, connected devices and PCs

A week after its buzzed-about customer conference in San Francisco, Intel Corp. is making headlines once again by launching six new SSDs for three different markets. The fastest of the new additions is the enterprise-oriented DCP3520, a 0.2U drive that can handle to 375,000 random reads and 26,000 random write operations per second while also providing impressive sequential IOPS.

According to PCWorld, this not only makes the SSD the highest-performing model in Intel’s data center DC series but also puts it ahead of the competing PM953 from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. And as if that wasn’t enough, the DCP3520 comes out on top in the capacity department too with a storage ceiling of 2 terabytes compared to the 1.93 terabyte limit of the South Korean giant’s SSD. It’s joined by a more affordable mid-range drive called the S3520 that uses about 30 percent less than its speedier sibling and is geared towards organizations that are only starting to adopt flash.

On opposite end of the storage spectrum are the new E5410 and E5420 SSDs, which are designed to be used in ATMs, smart meters and other connected devices with limited memory requirements. They former comes with up to 120 gigabytes of flash while the latter provides up to 180 gigabytes and has a mean time between failures of two million hours. Seeing how the kind of devices that Intel targets are typically expected to function for an extended period of time without undergoing maintenance, this reliability should be a major selling point.

Finally, the last two additions to the chip maker’s SSD lineup are built for use in everyday desktops and laptops. Dubbed the 600p and 600p Pro, they provide similar speeds but differ in functionality. The latter is geared towards business laptops and as such comes with a remote erasure feature that allows IT departments to easily wipe company data from an employee’s computer in the event it’s stolen or gets compromised by malware.
