Intel P4500 Entry NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDsProduct GuideThe Intel P4500 Entry NVMe SSDs are general-purpose yet high-performance drives with a PCIe 3.0 x4interface. They are designed for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and tosupport a broader set of workloads.The Intel P4500 SSDs are based on Intel-developed controller, firmware, and leading manufacturingprocess NAND flash memory. Rigorous qualification and compatibility testing by Lenovo ensures a highlyreliable SSD.Figure 1. Intel P4500 Entry NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDsDid You Know?NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a technology that overcomes SAS/SATA SSD performancelimitations by optimizing hardware and software to take full advantage of flash technology. Intel Xeonprocessors efficiently transfer data in fewer clock cycles with the NVMe optimized software stackcompared to the legacy Advance Host Controller Interface (AHCI) stack, thereby reducing latency andoverhead. These SSDs connect directly to the processor via the PCIe bus, further reducing latency andTCO.Intel P4500 Entry NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs 1
