Intel 660P Series NVMe SSD, M.2 Type 2280 - 2TB [SSDPEKNW020T8X1]

Just like the previous 600p series, the 660p comes in the M.2 form factor with a length of 80mm (2280) and is connected via PCIe 3.0 x4. While the predecessor also used TLC-3D-NAND with three bits per memory cell, the 660p series now offers four bits per memory cell and lower prices as well as more storage space for the customer.

The Intel SSD 660p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD at a glance:
- Modern M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with 2 TB capacity
- Extreme fast 1,800 / 1,800 MB / s read / write
- Total 220,000 / 220,000 IOPS OPS 4KB Random Read / Write
- Excellent price / performance ratio

Guaranteed write volume (TBW): 400 TB (until then 5 years manufacturer's warranty)
M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with QLD 3D NAND memory
The Intel SSD 660p series supports four standard 3.0 PCI Express lanes, and the 2 TB model achieves a maximum of 1,800 MB / s reading and 1,800 MB / s SLC cache writing, as well as fantastic IOPS reading of 220,000 or 220,000 when writing.

The key to the performance of the Intel SSD 660p is the dynamic SLC cache, which can scale its size according to the amount of storage used on the SSD. If less than 25 percent is occupied, it reaches a size of 280 gigabytes for the 2 terabyte model.
