The Intel 670p is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in December 2020. It is available in capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 512 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Intel 670p interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2265 from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. Intel has installed 144-layer QLC NAND flash on the 670p, the flash chips are made by Intel. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 64 GB. The 670p is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s and 1,600 MB/s write; random IO reaches 110K IOPS for read and 315K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 89 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Intel guarantees an endurance rating of 185 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.
