Overview
Just plug it in. PCIe*-based Intel® Solid-State Drive 910 Series enables a whole new way of looking at data center and cloud storage with ultimate performance, high endurance, and great flexibility.
High Performance
The Intel® Solid-State Drive 910 Series brings high-storage performance directly to the server CPU through the PCIe bus. At up to 2 gigabytes per second (GB/s) sequential read and 1GB/s sequential write bandwidth, storage throughput is increased up to 4X faster than previous Intel SATA 6Gb/s SSDs. Server CPU utilization is taken to new levels – accelerating data center virtualization, on-line transactions, and cloud computing. Servers and storage arrays become more responsive as critical data is fed faster directly to the system CPU, transferring more data in less time.
High Endurance
The Intel SSD 910 Series draws from decades of Intel memory engineering experience and SSD management utilizing High Endurance Technology (HET) for 30X increased endurance over standard-endurance SSDs. The Intel SSD 910 Series HET solution combines specially ruggedized 25nm multi-level cell (MLC) Intel® NAND Flash Memory with SSD management techniques. HET MLC NAND benefits from an optimized NAND manufacturing process, circuit design, and test optimization to increase program/erase cycles beyond standard MLC Intel NAND. Additionally, the Intel SSD controller and firmware are enhanced for less NAND wear, NAND error reduction, and system error management. The result is an Intel data center 25nm MLC NAND storage solution providing data center storage longevity and cost-effectiveness.
Easy Deployment
The Intel SSD 910 Series advanced architecture employs Intel® SSD controllers, firmware, and 25nm MLC Intel NAND Flash Memory technology to deliver extremely high throughput—dramatically outperforming 15k rpm hard disk drives (HDDs). The 800GB Intel SSD 910 Series provides 60% greater sequential read performance with 60X greater random read and 20X greater random write performance than eight short-stroke RAIDed 10k rpm SAS HDDs connected to a PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA)1. In addition, the Intel SSD 910 Series consumes 5X less space and 2.5X less power. The Intel SSD 910 Series is easy to install, providing a seamless, post-deployment server storage upgrade with no changes to existing server design. It’s as easy as plugging into a PCIe slot, loading drivers, and rebooting the system. HBA configuration, cabling, and hardware arrangements are eliminated. Tiered storage comes alive with extremely fast hot-file access!
