The Intel solid state drive toolbox utility lists the drive as being healthy with 100% of estimated life remaining.
The DC S3700 series delivers quick and consistent command response times with a 10% input/output operations per second distribution and max latencies of <500µs for 99.99% of the time. Enterprise-class drives such as these have certain characteristics that distinguish themselves from typical consumer drives. They often times feature more intelligent wear-leveling, power loss protection, superior internal error-correction, higher quality flash memory, better-validated firmware, and more robust data integrity support. This results in greater write endurance ratings and leads to significantly better drive longevity metrics. These types of drives also host technologies that allow for the recovery of corrupted blocks of data using parity data stored in other NAND dies so as to preserve data integrity. Additionally, it's worth pointing out that this class of SSD doesn't prioritize burst performance operations like consumer drives do. Instead they focus on delivering higher sustained steady-state performance over longer periods of time with less varied latency. Therefore, they can handle multi-client requests simultaneously without much degradation in response time, can recover from bit error rates better, and are rated to handle harsher conditions.

Features 25nm MLC NAND Flash Memory with High Endurance Technology (HET)
Endurance: 14,600 TB – 18,688 TB
Endurance in sequential workloads: 20 PB
The drive contains a 28% over-provisioning level of flash so it holds 1024GB [16 packages] of actual 2-bit MLC Enterprise-Grade HET NAND.
Sequential Read: 505 MB/s
Sequential Write: 490 MB/s
Random Read 4KB: 76K IOPS
Random Write 4KB: 32K IOPS
1GB DRAM Cache Buffer
Hosts enterprise-grade power loss protection. Upon detection of a power failure, the SSD immediately uses the stored energy from its tantalum capacitors to provide enough time to transfer the cached data in DRAM to the flash memory in order to ensure no loss of data or corruption. The aluminum electrolytic capacitors are rated for temperatures up to 105°C.
Large thermal pads cover both sides of the internals so as to dissipate heat away from the components and into the aluminum enclosure.
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): 2 Million Hours
UBER (Uncorrectable Bit-Error Rate): 1 unrecoverable error in 10^17 bits read
For data integrity, the drive supports full data path protection so that user data is safeguarded from corruption along all data paths in the SSD. The DC S3700 series uses an advanced error correction scheme that ensures data integrity by protecting against possible data corruption in the NAND, SRAM, and DRAM memory. Data is also protected when in transit through several techniques such as parity checks, cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), and logical block address (LBA) tag validation.
Contains the proprietary PC29AS21CA controller that utilizes an 8-channel architecture and allows for the improved consistency of IO latency. Through the use of a flat indirection table, the controller is able to service 99.9% of all 4KB random IOs (QD1) in less than 500µs.
Supports AES 256-bit Hardware Encryption
