Engineer's Note

The SSDPEDPX800G3 stands out in the Intel 910 Series by combining 800GB of Intel 25nm HET MLC with 10 DWPD endurance, 14,000TBW, and up to 2000/1000 MB/s plus 180,000/75,000 IOPS, making it a strong fit for write-intensive database, logging, and mixed virtualization workloads that cannot compromise on sustained durability. Compared with the SSDPEDPX400G3, it doubles usable capacity on the same PCIe 2.0 x8 enterprise add-in-card platform while maintaining the same high-endurance class, enabling higher VM or dataset density per slot and lower storage footprint per deployed node.

Endurance & Reliability

With an endurance rating of 14,000 TBW and 10 DWPD, the SSDPEDPX800G3 is built for sustained high-write enterprise workloads and can comfortably handle intensive daily data writes throughout its service life. In typical server or storage applications, this level of endurance means it can serve reliably for many years, including as a heavily used system or cache drive, without write-wear becoming a practical concern. For enterprise reliability, the drive includes power loss protection (PLP), which helps preserve data in flight and protects metadata integrity if power is interrupted unexpectedly. Its UBER of 1.0E-16 indicates an extremely low probability of unrecoverable bit errors, supporting dependable data integrity for business-critical environments.

Technical Specs & Insights

1. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface provides a stable enterprise host path that removes storage bottlenecks in database, virtualization, and analytics servers.
2. With 2000 MB/s sequential read performance, the drive accelerates large-block workloads such as backup restores, media streaming, and data warehouse scans.
3. Its 180,000 K IOPS random read capability supports dense VM farms and high-concurrency transactional applications with consistently fast access to small data blocks.
4. Rated for 10 DWPD, this SSD is built for write-intensive enterprise environments where sustained daily overwrites are critical to long service life and predictable maintenance cycles.
5. Intel 25nm HET MLC NAND paired with a typical latency of 65 µs delivers enterprise-grade flash endurance and highly responsive read behavior for latency-sensitive applications.

Capacity Sweet

Lower capacity reference: 400GB Higher capacity reference: 1.6TB At 800GB, this model sits at the sweet spot of the series. Compared with the 400GB version, it offers much better headroom for OS images, application growth, logs, and short-term data bursts, reducing capacity pressure in daily enterprise use. Compared with the 1.6TB option, it delivers a more efficient balance of acquisition cost, usable space, and essentially similar read/write and IOPS behavior. This makes 800GB ideal for mid-scale virtualization clusters, database nodes, or hyper-converged hosts, such as supporting around 40 to 60 mixed-workload virtual desktops or branch-office application instances.
