SSDPE21D480GAX1 Intel Optane 905P 480GB PCIe Gen 3 2.5" Server SSD

Low-Latency 2.5" U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD featuring Intel Optane 3D XPoint with the SSDPE21D480GAX1

The SSDPE21D480GAX1 is a 480GB Intel Optane 905P Series enterprise SSD engineered for storage paths where CPU efficiency and tail latency dominate application performance. In modern dual-socket server platforms, the SSDPE21D480GAX1 helps keep cores productive by reducing I/O wait states for commit-heavy services, while its DRAM-less architecture minimizes dependency on volatile caching for consistent response under mixed workloads.

Connected through a 2.5" U.2 NVMe interface on PCIe Gen3, the SSDPE21D480GAX1 integrates cleanly into standard backplanes and PCIe switch fabrics for dense 1U/2U deployments. Optane 3D XPoint media targets write-intensive tiers such as log devices, metadata, and journaling, delivering strong 4K IOPS characteristics for transactional databases and virtualization storage pools. Integrated SED with AES-256 hardware encryption supports secure multi-tenant and regulated environments without shifting encryption overhead to the host CPU.

Why Choose the SSDPE21D480GAX1?

The SSDPE21D480GAX1 is selected when predictable latency and sustained write endurance must be maintained across consolidation and burst conditions. With 10 DWPD over 5 years and high TBW, it supports cache, WAL, and hot metadata layers that would exhaust conventional NAND. The U.2 form factor and PCIe Gen3 NVMe profile simplify scalable rollouts across standardized server fleets, while enterprise MTBF targets improve operational continuity.

Intel designs Optane enterprise SSDs around deterministic media behavior, platform interoperability, and data center serviceability. The SSDPE21D480GAX1 aligns with modern NVMe management practices and security requirements, enabling controlled deployment in performance-sensitive storage architectures.

Key Applications:

• Transactional databases and log devices
• Write-intensive caching tiers
• Metadata and journaling acceleration
• Virtualization mixed I/O datastores
