SSDPE2ME016T4 Intel DC P3600 1.6TB NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 NVMe Datacenter SSD designed for low-latency tiers with the SSDPE2ME016T4

The SSDPE2ME016T4 is a 2.5" U.2 (SFF-8639) hot-swap NVMe SSD built to remove storage latency as a constraint in modern dual-socket CPU platforms and dense virtualisation hosts. By attaching directly to PCIe, the SSDPE2ME016T4 enables predictable I/O response under mixed enterprise queues, supporting fast VM boot storms, metadata-heavy services, and read-optimised tiers that need consistent performance rather than capacity-focused throughput.

Architecturally, the SSDPE2ME016T4 fits into PCIe-based backplanes for scalable expansion without the protocol overhead of legacy SAS/SATA paths. It targets high parallelism with up to 2600 MB/s sequential reads and up to 450K 4K random read IOPS, balancing host-side CPU cycles with storage-side queue depth efficiency. MLC NAND, power-loss protection, and hot-swap serviceability align the SSDPE2ME016T4 with 24/7 operational models where data integrity and controlled maintenance windows are mandatory.

Why Choose the SSDPE2ME016T4?

The SSDPE2ME016T4 provides an enterprise-grade density-to-performance ratio for NVMe tiers, combining low latency, stable QoS, and endurance suited to continuously active infrastructure. With 3 DWPD over 5 years and 8760 TBW, the SSDPE2ME016T4 scales from single-node databases to clustered virtualisation pools while keeping write amplification and operational risk in check.

Intel engineers the DC P3600 platform with a focus on datacenter reliability, including PLP for in-flight data protection and validated endurance profiles. The SSDPE2ME016T4 follows established server integration standards for U.2 hot-swap bays, supporting consistent deployment across mixed rack architectures and controlled lifecycle management.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation and cloud infrastructure NVMe tiers
• Low-latency databases and transaction logs
• Caching and content acceleration
• Analytics metadata and index storage
• High-availability 24/7 server storage pools
