Introduction

The ThinkSystem U.2 P5800X Write Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD is the ultimate in high performance solid state drive with ultra-low latency, very high bandwidth, and an endurance of up to 100 drive writes per day, making this drive the best choice for write-intensive high-performance workloads.

Intel’s next-gen Optane storage solution brings outstanding quality of service for predictable performance, leading IOPS performance across workloads, and the best endurance value in the industry. With a PCIe 4.0 host interface, the P5800X performs over three times faster than the previous generation P4800X SSD, which has already carved out an important niche in data center storage thanks to its excellent endurance and overall performance.

Did You Know?

The P5800X SSDs have a PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) host interface, where sequential performance is doubled over the PCIe 3.0 host interface. The drives are also fully compatible with a PCIe 3.0 host interface providing optimal performance and enabling compatibility across server families.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a technology that overcomes SAS/SATA SSD performance limitations by optimizing hardware and software to take full advantage of flash technology. Intel Xeon processors efficiently transfer data in fewer clock cycles with the NVMe optimized software stack compared to the legacy Advance Host Controller Interface (AHCI) stack, thereby reducing latency and overhead. These SSDs connect directly to the processor via the PCIe bus, further reducing latency and TCO.

Features

The ThinkSystem U.2 P5800X Write Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD series is Intel's next-generation NVMe SSD that features 3D XPoint technology. 3D XPoint technology is a new class of memory that doesn't store data by trapping electrons in the memory cell but instead utilized the property-change of the memory material itself to store the data. The NVMe controller and firmware are optimized to take advantage of the unique aspects of 3D XPoint technology. I/O operations are accelerated by hardware, delivering leading performance, ultra-low latency and quality of service (QoS).

Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is PCIe high performance SSD technology that provides high I/O throughput and low latency. NVMe interfaces remove SAS/SATA bottlenecks and unleash all of the capabilities of contemporary NAND flash memory. Each NVMe PCI SSD has direct PCIe x4 connection, which provides at significantly greater bandwidth and lower latency than SATA/SAS-based SSD solutions. NVMe drives are also optimized for heavy multi-threaded workloads by using internal parallelism and many other improvements, such as enlarged I/O queues.

With a PCIe 4.0 host interface, the P5800X drives offer significant increase in maximum throughputs supported, from 2.5 GB/s for sequential reads with the P4800X drives to up to 7.2 GB/s with the P5800X drives, almost triple the performance. Sequential writes also increase from 2.2 GB/s with the P4800X to up to 6.1 GB/s with the P5800X drives.

The P5800X drives have the following key characteristics:

  • PCIe 4.0 connection for each NVMe drive
  • Also supports PCIe 3.0 host connection for servers with first and second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors or with PCIe 3.0 NVMe switch adapters
  • Ultra-low I/O latency, with a read/write latency of as low as 5 µs.
  • Consistently reliable quality of service
  • Excellent read and write performance at low queue depths
  • Near symmetrical read and write performance
  • Very high endurance at 100 full drive writes per day
  • Variable sector size and end-to-end data-path protection
  • Enhanced power-loss data protection
  • Thermal throttling and monitoring
  • Supports the NVMe Management Interface (NVMe-MI) specification
  • SMART health reporting

The key metric for solid state drives is their endurance (life expectancy). SSDs have a huge, but finite, number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which determines how long the drives can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Performance SSDs have better endurance than Mainstream SSDs, which in turn have better endurance than Entry SSDs.

SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase cycles that the drive can incur over its lifetime, which is listed as TBW in the device specification. The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed.

A solid-state device does not fail upon reaching the specified TBW, but at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive reaches the end-of-life point, at which time the drive goes into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, careful planning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive is not exceeded before the required life expectancy.

For example, the P5800X 800 GB drive has an endurance of 146 PB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 80,000 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 100.0 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 133,333 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 166.7 full drive writes per day.

Warranty

The ThinkSystem U.2 P5800X Write Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD carries a 1-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When installed in a supported Lenovo server, these drives assume the server’s base warranty and any warranty upgrade.

Solid State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program/erase cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid state device has a maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. The warranty for Lenovo solid state drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the SSD product.
