Random I/O Operations based on Thousand (K) IOPS 2 Performance varies by capacity and is measured using IOMeter* with Queue Depth 128, for sequential workload Queue Depth 128 with single worker. For Random workload Queue Depth 32, with 4 workers. 3 TM Measurements are performed on full span of logical block address (LBA) range on an SSD that is filled to capacity with data. IOPS setup: Intel Core i7-3770K CPU 3.50GHz, 8GB of system memory, Windows* Server 2012, and IOMeter tool were used. DC P3700 system performance is configuration dependent. Random performance is collected with 4 workers each with 32 QD. 4 Using JESD218 standard with JESD219 workload, Terabytes Written (TBW) 5 1 Average latency measured with 4KB sequential I/O at Queue Depth 6 Active power measured during execution of Full Sequential Workload with 128KB transfer size, idle power is measured when there is no I/O to SSD. 7 For suggested airofl w please refer to the product specification document.

The information here is subject to change without notice. Do not finalize a design with this information. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reefl ct the approximate performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing.
