About the Oracle 1.6TB NVMe SSD
Oracle's 1.6TB NVMe SSD offers high-performance with low latency and a low CPU burden.
The 1.6TB NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen3 storage drive that is architected with the new high
performance controller interface – NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express), delivering leading
performance, low latency and high quality of service.
The Oracle 1.6TB NVMe SSD is designed with advanced enterprise multi-level cell NAND
(eMLC) technology for high-level performance and write durability. With PCIe Gen3 support
and NVMe queuing interface, the 1.6TB NVMe SSD delivers excellent sequential read

About Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Cards and 1.6TB
NVMe SSDs
1.6TB NVMe SSD drives on some servers require a PCIe low-profile form factor NVMe switch
controller card to facilitate connections between the host root port and the NVMe devices.
This Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Card provides high bandwidth and low latency for up to four
NVMe drives. The Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Card plugs into a low profile x8 PCIe Gen 3
card slot and uses sixteen lanes to support four NVMe storage drive devices.
The following illustration shows four Oracle 1.6TB NVMe SSDs connected to one Oracle PCIe
NVMe Switch Card in an x86 server configuration.

Reliability Specifications
The Oracle 1.6TB NVMe SSD reliability specifications are shown in the following table:
Specification Value
Uncorrectable Bit Error
Rate (UBER)
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified number of bits read.
In the unlikely event of a non-recoverable read error, the storage drive will report it as a
read failure to the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and is not returned to the
host.
< 1 sector per 1017 bits read
Mean Time Between
Failures (MTBF)
2 million hours
Mean Time Between Failures is estimated based on Telcordia methodology and
demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT).

Specifications
Product Overview 19
Specification Value
Data Retention The time period for retaining data in the NAND at maximum rated endurance. 3 months
power-off retention once storage drive reaches rated write endurance at 40° C.
Endurance Rating ■ Up to 14 PBW (petabytes written)
Endurance rating verification is defined to establish UBER <1E-16 at 60% upper
confidence limit.
■ 5 Drive Writes/day (JESD219 workload)
The number of drive writes such that the storage drive meets the requirements
according to the JESD219 standard.
Temperature Sensor Internal temperature sensor with an accuracy of +/-2° C over a range of -10° C to +85° C
which can be monitored using NVMe Health Log.
The sensor has an accuracy of +/- 3° C over a range of -20° C to 125° C. SMBUS
temperature sensor is not reported in NVMe Health Log.
Drive provides out-of-band access to temperature by means of SMBUS.
Out of Band
Management
(SMBUS)
Provides out-of-band management by means of SMBUS interface. This requires 3.3V
auxiliary voltage.
SMBUS access includes the VPD page and temperature sensor.
Hot Plug Support Supports PCIe presence detect and link-up detect.
Device advanced power loss protection provides robust data integrity. During IOs, the
SSD's integrated monitoring enables the integrity of already committed data on the media
and commits acknowledged writes to the media.
