The SSDPE2KE032T8T stands out in the DC P4610 family by combining 3.2 TB of 64L 3D TLC with PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe performance up to 3200/3000 MB/s and 643K/199K IOPS, while sustaining a strong 3 DWPD and 17.52 PBW for mixed-read/write enterprise workloads. Compared with the earlier SSDPE2KE032T801, this later-orderable revision offers a more current qualification path on the same proven platform, giving architects a safer refresh choice for fleet standardization without sacrificing throughput or endurance.
With an endurance rating of 17,520 TBW and 3 DWPD, the SSDPE2KE032T8T is built for sustained enterprise write workloads and can comfortably handle frequent full-drive writes over its service life. In typical deployment scenarios, this level of endurance means it can serve as a high-write system, cache, or application drive for many years without endurance becoming a practical concern. For enterprise reliability, the drive includes power loss protection (PLP), which helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during an unexpected power interruption, reducing the risk of corruption and unplanned recovery events. Its UBER specification of 1.0E-17 indicates an extremely low unrecoverable bit error rate, supporting high data integrity for business-critical storage environments.
1. The PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe architecture gives the drive a low-overhead, parallel data path that keeps enterprise servers, hypervisors, and storage nodes responsive under multi-queue workloads.
2. Its strong sequential-read capability shortens boot storms, dataset loading, backup recovery, and large-file streaming in analytics and content delivery environments.
3. The high random-read performance makes it well suited for latency-sensitive databases, VDI farms, and metadata-heavy applications that depend on fast small-block access at scale.
4. With enterprise-class write endurance, this model can sustain daily write-heavy workloads such as transaction logging, caching, and mixed-use virtualization without rapid wear-out concerns.
5. Built on mature 3D TLC NAND and paired with ultra-low typical latency, it offers a practical balance of capacity, cost efficiency, and consistently fast response for mainstream enterprise deployment.
Lower capacity reference: 1.6 TB Higher capacity reference: 6.4 TB In the Intel SSDPE2KE series, the 3.2 TB model sits at the sweet spot between the 1.6 TB and 6.4 TB options. Compared with 1.6 TB, it gives much better headroom for data growth, overprovisioning, and workload consolidation without changing the expected enterprise-class read/write and random IOPS profile. Compared with 6.4 TB, it keeps acquisition cost, replacement budget, and capacity utilization risk under better control while still delivering strong density. It is well suited for mid-scale virtualization clusters, such as hosting boot and application volumes for about 60 to 80 virtual machines.
Q: Is SSDPE2KE032T8T suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 3 DWPD endurance, 17,520 TBW, low 10 µs typical latency, and PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe performance, SSDPE2KE032T8T 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 DWPD, meaning it can handle three full 3.2 TB drive writes per day throughout its warranty period, aligned with its 17,520 TBW endurance rating.
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 sudden power interruptions, which is critical for maintaining data integrity and preventing corruption in enterprise systems.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID choice depends on your goal. For database and enterprise use, RAID 10 is commonly recommended because it balances performance, redundancy, and fast rebuilds better than RAID 5 or RAID 6.
