Built from the success of its cloud-inspired predecessor - the Intel® SSD DC P4600 - and architected with 64-layer TLC Intel 3D NAND technology, the Intel SSD DC P4618 deliver performance, quality of service (QoS), and capacity improvements to further optimize storage efficiency, enabling data centers to do more per server, minimize service disruptions, and efficiently manage at scale.

An SSD Built for Cloud Storage Architectures
Multi-cloud has become a core element for any enterprise strategy, and top cloud providers have responded by openly embracing PCIe/NVMe-based SSDs with scalable performance, low latency, and continued innovation.

Minimize Service Disruptions
To ensure telemetry information without disrupting ongoing I/Os, the SSD DC P4618 includes enhanced SMART monitoring of drive health and status, using an in-band mechanism and out-of-band access. A power loss imminent (PLI) protection scheme - with a built-in self-test - guards against data loss if system power is suddenly cut.

Coupled with Intel's industry-leading end-to-end data path protection scheme, PLI features enable ease of deployment into resilient data centers where data corruption from system-level glitches is not tolerated. The SSD DC P4618 combines firmware enhancements with new 3D NAND features to prioritize host workload and ensure better service levels.
