New SSD series offers a very high storage density and large capacities

With the 660p series, Intel has launched the first SSDs with QLC 3D-NAND-architecture on the market. Rutronik has added the series which is available now. They are distinguished by a very high storage density and large capacities: The SSDs in M.2 form factor with PCIe and NVMe are available with 512GB, 1TB and 2TB storage space from the company. Using PCIe 3.0x4 interface, the series delivers read and write speeds of up to 1800MB/sec. The SSD handles 250,000 IOPS for reading and writing. The device features AES 256-bit encryption and is compatible with Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology and SSD Toolbox as well as PCI Express Revision 3.1 and NVM Express Revision 1.3. The series provides an UBER of <1 sector per 1015 bits read and a mean time between failures of 1.6 million hours. With a JEDEC 218 workload, Intel guarantees a minimum runtime of five years for the memories. A wide operating temperature range of 0C to 70C and a shock resistance of 1000G/0.5ms makes the SSDs also ideal for applications in demanding environments. The series has dimensions of 80mm x 22mm and a maximum thickness of 2.38mm. It runs in active mode at 100mW, and in passive mode at 40mW, the power management works via PCIe ASPM and NVMe APST. Moreover, the SSD comes with numerous certificates, including CE, UL, RoHS, Microsoft WHLK, BSMU, KCC and RCM.
