Lenovo ThinkServer 800GB Intel P3700 PCIe 3.0 NVMe Enterprise Performance HHHL Flash Adapter

The ThinkServer 800GB Intel P3700 PCIe 3.0 NVMe Enterprise Performance HHHL Flash Adapter provides high performance data transfers from storage, at rates significantly faster than SAS or SATA-based solid state drives. The Intel P3700 NVMe Enterprise Performance Flash Adapter is based on Intel-developed controller, firmware, and leading manufacturing process NAND flash memory. Rigorous qualification and compatibility testing by Lenovo ensures a highly reliable flash adapter. By combining Flash NAND management techniques and NAND silicon enhancements, High Endurance Technology (HET) enables the P3700 Series to achieve up to seventeen drive writes per day over a five year drive life.

The Intel P3700 NVMe Enterprise Performance Flash Adapter is a PCIe 3.0 storage device in a standard half-high half-length PCIe form factor. The adapter uses a Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) high-performance controller interface which delivers leading performance, low latency, and quality of service. It delivers excellent sequential read performance of up to 2.8 GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2.0 GB/s. The adapter can also deliver very high random read IOPS of 460K and random write IPS of 175K for 4 KB operations. Taking advantage of the direct path from the adapter to the processor, the P3700 has a low latency of less than 20 Вµs for sequential access.
