The Intel DC P4610 1.6TB (SSDPE2KE016T8T) is a strong upgrade from SSDPE2KE016T801, combining 64-layer 3D TLC with a PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe interface to deliver higher usable density, better mixed-workload responsiveness, and more efficient scaling for modern servers. With 3 DWPD endurance, 8,760 TBW, up to 3,200/1,990 MB/s sequential throughput, and 612K/182K IOPS, it is particularly well suited for virtualization clusters, read-heavy databases, and latency-sensitive cloud storage tiers where the previous generation is more constrained on performance-per-watt and consolidation efficiency.
With an endurance rating of 8,760 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDPE2KE016T8T is designed to handle very heavy write workloads over its service life, making it well suited for enterprise servers, virtualization, caching, and database use. In typical deployment, this level of endurance means it can easily serve as a highly reliable boot or system drive for many years, and in most normal operating environments it will provide far more write capacity than standard infrastructure workloads require. For enterprise reliability, built-in power loss protection (PLP) helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during an unexpected power interruption, reducing the risk of corruption and improving operational safety. Its UBER of 1.0E-17, together with a 2 million-hour MTBF, indicates an enterprise-class error rate and strong long-term dependability, giving procurement teams confidence in data integrity and platform stability.
1. The PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe architecture gives this drive a direct, low-overhead data path to the CPU, helping enterprise servers accelerate database access, virtualization density, and application responsiveness.
2. Its 3200 MB/s sequential read performance shortens large-file movement and data-loading windows, making backups, analytics scans, and content streaming pipelines complete faster.
3. With 612,000 random-read IOPS, the SSD can sustain highly concurrent small-block access, which is critical for OLTP databases, VDI boot storms, and metadata-heavy cloud workloads.
4. Rated for 3 DWPD and built with 64L 3D TLC NAND, it delivers the write endurance needed for always-on enterprise workloads while maintaining a practical balance between capacity, reliability, and deployment cost.
5. A typical latency of 10 µs helps reduce storage wait time at the transaction level, supporting more predictable QoS and faster response in latency-sensitive applications.
Within this series, the nearest lower capacity reference is 800 GB, and the next higher capacity is 3.2 TB. At 1.6 TB, this model sits in the practical sweet spot of the family. Compared with the 800 GB version, it gives much better headroom for data growth, overprovisioning, and mixed enterprise workloads without changing the expected read/write or IOPS profile. Compared with the 3.2 TB option, it typically delivers a more attractive cost-to-performance ratio, avoiding excess capacity spend while preserving enterprise-class responsiveness. It is especially well suited for mid-size virtualization clusters, such as supporting around 40 to 60 general-purpose virtual machine boot and application volumes.
Q: Is SSDPE2KE016T8T suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD endurance, 8,760 TBW, low 10 µs typical latency, and PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe performance, SSDPE2KE016T8T is well suited for write-intensive database workloads.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: This model is rated for 3 drive writes per day. For a 1.6 TB SSD, that equals about 4.8 TB of writes daily across its supported warranty endurance profile.
Q: Does it include power loss protection (PLP) and why is that critical?
A: Yes, it includes power loss protection. PLP helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during unexpected outages, which is critical for maintaining data integrity and reducing corruption risk.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID recommendation depends on your priority. RAID 1 is common for redundancy, RAID 10 for strong performance plus protection, and RAID 5/6 for more usable capacity in larger arrays.
