Intel® Solid-State Drive 710 Series: Technology Brief

Optimized solution for applications with high endurance requirements.

With solid-state drives (SSDs) becoming more prominent in data centers, there is an increased focus on SSD endurance – the ability of an SSD to withstand large amounts of data writes. The Intel® SSD 710 Series introduces a solution for these data center environments and endurance-focused applications: High Endurance Technology (HET). This technology, consisting of silicon-level and system- level optimizations, helps the Intel SSD 710 Series extend its endurance beyond what can be achieved using standard multi-level cell (MLC) NAND.

What is SSD Endurance?

SSD endurance is the amount of data that can be written to an SSD during its lifetime. More specifically, it is the ability of an SSD to withstand multiple data writes within a set of criteria defined in the JEDEC Solid State Drive (SSD) Requirements and Endurance Test Method (JESD218) specification.

In JESD218, SSD endurance for data center applications is specified as the total amount of host data that can be written to an SSD, guaranteeing no greater than a specified error rate (1E-16) and data retention of no less than three months at 40 °C when the SSD is powered off.

What is High Endurance Technology?
After a large amount of program/erase (P/E) cycles on an SSD, data retention issues on individual NAND flash cells may occur. Additionally, increased read errors may happen when retrieving previously written data – wearing out the life of an SSD.

High Endurance Technology (HET), incorporated into the Intel SSD 710 Series, combines Intel® NAND Flash Memory silicon enhancements and SSD system management techniques to help extend the endurance of the SSD.
