Please specify what is the established linear recording rate for this model after using the SLC cache.

For 1Tb model, it is about 100mb.

What is it for 2TB model?

Saw the screenshot that the speed is 245MB

Hello AVlad4, Thank you for your patience. We noticed that you have an open case with our advanced technical support department that is related to the same issue, we will continue to provide you with support on that case. In order to provide the community with the same information provided to you on your original case, we will be posting here the same official response to your question, which is related to the Intel® SSD 660p Series performance: “The Intel® SSD 660p is built using Intel® QLC technology with a large and faster dynamic SLC cache in the forefront to handle drive writes and boost the write performance. The data from the dynamic SLC is transferred to the QLC during drive idle times thereby keeping cache fresh to enhance user write experience. The 660p is architected and designed for common PC usage models such as web browsing, e-mails, productivity tasks – project reports and spreadsheets and limited photo and video edits/storage wherein the workloads are clustered in burst with significant idle times in between. For usage case scenarios outside of the common PC usages and once the drive reaches 75% full, there are chances that the write performance may be below 100 MB/s.” We hope you find this information helpful. Best regards, Josh B. Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation

Hello AVlad4,

Thank you for contacting Intel® Memory & Storage Support.

As we understand, you need assistance with your Intel® SSD 660p Series. If we infer correctly, please, review the information below:

·        Based on the Intel® SSD 660p Series Product Brief (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/660p-series-brief.pdf)

The architecture of Intel QLC technology in the SSD 660p is made to intelligently boost performance. QLC and SLC “spans” on the drive adjust bi-directionally based on used capacity for the life of the product. Increases in capacity usage trigger the SLC span to decrease, and decreases in capacity usage trigger the SLC span to increase.

·        Based on the Evaluation Guide for Intel® SSD 660p Series (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/memory-and-storage/consumer-ssds/Intel_SSD...)

Hello!

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I need information on the model 660p 2Tb.

The links you provided I looked. There is no answer to my question! It consists in what will be the speed of the carrier after the cache is exhausted SLC. This is important because It is this parameter that will affect the movement of large volumes.

For example, testing the 1TB model showed that the speed after the cache is exhausted is 75MB!

According to the above mentioned link on the 2Tb model, the minimum speed was 240Mb. But it is not exactly. And I would like to know this question.

And I have a question. There is a mainboard of Asus z270 Prime - A

Both slots m.2 are already occupied. How can I connect 2 more 660p media?

I think can connect to the free slot pci-e 16 and pci-e 4 using single adapters. Or can find an adapter and connect 2 m.2 to pci-e 16 at once?

Are there any adapters?

And can I collect a raid 0 from 2x660p?
