Intel to Offer Affordable 600p NVMe SSDs
Granted, you do need a compatible motherboard, but NVMe SSDs are as far as I am concerned incredibly intersting if you want enthusiast grade SSD performance. Up-to this moment a little bit pricy.
Intel is trying to change that as they will release a 'budget' version of the new 600p series NVMe protocol based M2 SSDs. The 600p series will be fitted with 3D NAND Tri-Level Cell (TLC) flash storage and will be offered on the 80mm single-sided M.2 form factor that connects to an NVMe compatible / PCIe 3.0 (x4) slot. Intel will release capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.
Much like price per GB the sequential read/write and random read/write speeds vary between all models, with sequential reads ranging from 770MB/s to 1,800MB/s, and sequential writes spanning 450MB/s to 560MB/s. The random reads are between 35,000 IOPS and 155,000 IOPS, and the random writes are between 91,000 IOPS and 128,000 IOPS.
“Designed for a range of devices from desktops to laptops, the Intel SSD 600p Series will effortlessly manage demanding consumer client applications and easily handle intense multi-tasking,” the company said on Thursday. “The SSD 600p Series will take PCs to a new level of responsiveness with fast application launches and file loading.”
| Capacity | Sequential read (MB/s) |
Sequential write (MB/s) |
Random read (IOPS) |
Random write (IOPS) |
MSRP |
| 128 GB | 770 | 450 | 35K | 91K | $69.00 |
| 256GB | 1570 | 540 | 71K | 112K | $104.00 |
| 512GB | 1775 | 560 | 128.5K | 128K | $189.00 |
| 1024GB | 1800 | 560 | 155K | 128K | $359.00 |
The new 600p Series have a typical power consumption of 100 milliwatts while active, 40 milliwatts when idle, and 5 milliwatts during sleep. Other highlights outlined by Intel include AES 256-bit self-encryption, a five-year warranty. The costs per gigabyte varies for volume size, but 53 cents for the 128GB drive to just 35 cents for the 1TB model, these drives are among the most competitively-priced NVMe SSDs thus far.

@Pictus
most long term use will see chips failing first, because of age, not write cycles.
even for cheap consumer ssds...
True. My Sammy 950 is about 6-7 months old and used as my main drive and I have written just 3.07TB so far.
I haven't of course been doing anything taxing so I assume others should be higher but still that's like 10-12 years for that 72TBW based on my usage.
So for "normal" use that Intel's TBW seems good enough. Still a catch tho compared to the other drivers but not a bad one.

72TWB is just fine and should last easily till it's obsolete. My Samsung 830 has over 11TB host writes and it's still doing just fine.

But they all have low endurance of 72 TBW even the 1TB model.
For the 128 GB is understandable, but the same for a 1 TB model, that is bad...
from where you get those rated endurance ?
if the endurance that low, it seems they using their lowest grade chip
the good things they still provide 5years warranty for it...
not sure if affordable = value...
intel product has been always expensive = high quality/reliability which turn to better value in long term
but this one, its more like micron typical product

Yeah that seems a bit off to me. If true, it would mean if you have a miserly 50W to spare on your power supply you could hypothetically run 500 1 TB drives active as in reading and writing simultaenously and still be okay.
