Introduction
The S3700 SATA MLC Enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs) employ MLC NAND flash memory with High Endurance Technology and a 6 Gbps SATA interface to provide an affordable solution with industry leading performance. They are targeted at databases and other enterprise workloads that require high I/O performance in random read and write operations, including applications caching and tiering. The 1.8-inch SSDs can also be used in the eXFlash solution for maximum capacity and performance.

Did you know?
With High Endurance Technology, S3700 SATA MLC Enterprise SSDs can be fully rewritten up to ten times per day throughout their entire five-year life expectancy. These solid-state drives provide outstanding performance, endurance, reliability, and energy efficiency for both read- and write-intensive enterprise applications, such as databases, data warehouses, corporate email and collaboration, actively connected users, medical imaging, and other applications.

Rigorous testing of S3700 SATA Enterprise MLC SSDs by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program assures a high degree of confidence in storage subsystem compatibility and reliability.

The part numbers include the following items:

• One SSD without a drive tray (1.8-inch SSDs) or one SSD with a 2.5-inch hot-swap or simple-swap drive tray (2.5-inch SSDs) or one SSD with a 3.5-inch hot swap drive tray (3.5-inch SDDs)
• Technical Update Flyer
• Warranty Flyer
• Important Notices document

Features
The S3700 SATA MLC Enterprise SDDs have the following features:

• • Industry standard 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3.5-inch form factors
  • Support for a standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive bay (2.5-inch SSDs or 3.5-inch SSDs, respectively), eXFlash drive bay (1.8-inch SSDs), or SSD drive bay (1.8-inch SSDs) on selected System x®, iDataPlex®, BladeCenter®, and Flex System™ servers
  • Cost-effective Intel 25 nm MLC NAND flash memory with High Endurance Technology (HET)
  • High Endurance Technology combines NAND silicon enhancements and SSD NAND management techniques to extend the write endurance of an SSD
  • SATA MLC solid-state drive with high read and write performance and consistently low latencies to fulfill client needs in the enterprise space
  • High endurance, with up to 14.6 PB of total bytes written (TBW) to enable applications with intensive read/write workloads
  • High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
  • Energy saving, with as little as 6 W power consumption per drive
  • Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server
  • S.M.A.R.T. support
  • Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
  • Full end-to-end data path protection
  • Thermal throttling to extend the life of the drive
  • Enhanced power loss data protection

The key difference between Enterprise SSDs and Enterprise Value SSDs is their endurance (or life expectancy). SSDs have a huge but finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which affect how long they can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Enterprise SSDs have better endurance but a higher cost/IOPS ratio compared to Enterprise Value 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.
