Conclusion, Pricing, and Final Thoughts
Conclusion:
PROS:
- Ludicrous Speed!
- Competitive cost/GB, especially in light of outstanding performance
CONS:
- We'd like to see the P3500 marketed as an enthusiast part, and closer to $1/GB
Pricing and Availability:
We don't yet have street prices, but extrapolating from the 400GB model pricing given on the slide earlier, we get these rough prices:
DC P3700:
- 400GB – $1207 ($3.02/GB)
- 800GB – $2414
- 1.2TB – N/A
- 1.6TB – $4828
- 2.0TB – $6035
DC P3600:
- 400GB – $783 ($1.95/GB)
- 800GB – $1566
- 1.2TB – $2349
- 1.6TB – $3132
- 2.0TB – $3915
DC P3500:
- 400GB – $599 ($1.50/GB)
- 800GB – N/A
- 1.2TB – $1797
- 1.6TB – N/A
- 2.0TB – $2995
Warranty:
All Intel DC P3x00 parts come with a 5-year warranty.
Final Thoughts:
The speed advantages of the NVMe interface are now indelibly clear, especially as demonstrated by Intel's new fire breathing Data Center product lines. This new interface removes many of the bottlenecks associated with SATA and AHCI, bringing the flash much closer to the CPU, both physically and logically. The end results are impressive to say the least, with Intel's 18-channel controller turning in figures close to 3GB/sec and 4k random IO pushing half a million IOPS. The market segmentation of three separate SKU lines is welcome, in that it is accompanied by step reductions in cost/GB ranging from $3/GB down to $1.50/GB. Enterprise products with such staggering performance, averaging $2/GB is absolutely game changing.
I, for one, welcome our new flash memory overlords.
When it takes a follow-on review just to figure out how to unleash the full potential of a product, and that product can be had at a very competitive price, well, you know it's awesome!
Thank you. I never that on
Thank you. I never that on intels site. Now I have plenty on time to save up for it. $600.00 yippee.
These are meant for
These are meant for enterprise. For those asking about a desktop get real. This is for business application use such as VDI or DB, not gaming and booting. Do you not get it really, $6k this is way more than your desktop.
$6k for a 2TB. You are
$6k for a 2TB. You are getting overkill if you get this for a desktop plain and simple.

I have been having problems
I have been having problems with the P3700 being compatible with 2 of my asus boards a Maximus Extreme VI and a Z97 Deluxe, I cant get them to work with the P3700 no matter what I do. It works just fine with my ASRock Extreme 11 a/c but not my ASUS boards. I notice that you used an ASUS board for your review and was wondering if you had any compatibility issues that you had to deal with?
Did you check to see if there
Did you check to see if there is a BIO’s update for Asus boards?
Will there be a review for
Will there be a review for the P3600? Would be interesting to see how that and the 3700 compare..
I got curious…
What if,
I got curious…
What if, theoretically, I’d hook p3500 on four lanes but not PCIe gen3 but gen2?
(that as I unhesitant is twice slower)
Would drive work? (maybe there are some issues)
What about bottle-necks? (in theory)
This is a very interesting product!

How many volumes contains
How many volumes contains that device? It’s one 800 Gb volume or something like intel 910 series – 4x200Gb?
