Frequently Asked Questions
What interface does the Intel 660p use, and is it compatible with SATA M.2 slots?
The 660p uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is not compatible with SATA-only M.2 slots — your motherboard must support PCIe NVMe M.2 drives.
What type of NAND flash does this drive use?
It uses Intel's QLC (Quad-Level Cell) 3D NAND technology, which stores four bits per cell to achieve high capacities at a competitive price point.
How does QLC NAND affect this drive's write performance?
QLC drives use an SLC write cache to maintain high burst speeds. Once the cache is filled during sustained large writes, write speeds can drop significantly. For typical mixed workloads and everyday use, most users will not encounter this limitation frequently.
What are the sequential read and write speeds?
The Intel 660p 2TB is rated for up to 1800 MB/s sequential read and 1800 MB/s sequential write speeds.
