They are engineered for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and to support a broader set of workloads.Entry SSDs and Performance SSDs have similar read and write IOPS performance, but the key difference between them is their endurance (or lifetime) (that is, how long they can perform write operations because SSDs have a finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles). Entry SSDs have a better cost/IOPS ratio but lower endurance compared to Performance SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase (P/E) cycles that the drive incurs over its lifetime, listed as the total bytes of written data (TBW) in the device specification.The TBW value assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data (based on the number of P/E cycles) that a drive can be guaranteed to complete (% of remaining P/E cycles = % of remaining TBW). Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail. It simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device will not fail upon reaching the specified TBW. At some point based on manufacturing variance margin, after surpassing the TBW value, the drive will reach the end-of-life point, at which the drive will go into a read-only mode.Because of such behavior by Entry solid-state drives, careful planning must be done to use them only in read-intensive or mixed up to 70% read/30% write environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive will not be exceeded before the required life expectancy.For example, the 480 GB PM883 Entry drive has an endurance of 683 TB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 374 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 0.8 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 624 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 1.3 full drive writes per day.

Compared with the Intel S4600 series, these new drives offer improved performance and lower latency.The Intel SSD S4610 drives with 3 full drives writes per day (DWD) are an excellent choice as cache in transactional application and high-speed storage for enterprise databases.The Intel S4610 Enterprise Mainstream SATA solid-state drive is shown in the following figure.By combining the Intel 3D NAND TLC Flash Memory technology and Intel’s latest controller, the design of Intel S4610 Mainstream SATA SSDs delivers consistent performance, reduced power consumption, and end-to-end data protection, as well as being optimized for endurance and IOPS/watt.Rigorous testing of Intel S4610 Mainstream SATA SSDs by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program ensures a high degree of storage subsystem compatibility and reliability. Providing additional peace of mind, these drives are covered under Lenovo warranty.The key difference between Performance SSDs such as the S3710 SSDs, Mainstream SSDs such as the S4610 SSDs, and Entry SSDs, such as the S4510 SSDs, 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. Mainstream SSDs have better endurance than the Entry SSDs, but at a higher cost/IOPS ratio.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.

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 S4610 960 GB drive has an endurance of 6.0 PB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 3,288 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 3.4 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 5,479 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 5.7 full drive writes per day.
