Intel SSD 670p 2 TB (SSDPEKNU020TZX1)
Product-specific catalog record for the manufacturer code below. Performance figures are manufacturer-rated values, not independent test results.
IDENTIFY THE EXACT SKU: Compare the full MPN, label suffix, form factor, firmware and any OEM/security code before applying these notes. Family variations, capacity changes and factory thermal assemblies can materially change ratings and compatibility.
Manufacturer-identified specifications
| Product / MPN | Intel SSD 670p 2 TB (SSDPEKNU020TZX1) — SSDPEKNU020TZX1 |
|---|---|
| Capacity / form factor | 2 TB; M.2 2280, bare module. |
| Interface / lane width | PCIe 3.0 x4. |
| Protocol | NVMe 1.3. |
| Rated performance / endurance | Up to 3,500 MB/s sequential read and 2,700 MB/s sequential write; 740 TBW for the 2 TB SKU. |
| Heatsink / revision caveat | Bare module without a factory heatsink. This QLC client SSD can slow after its dynamic cache is exhausted; thermal throttling and cache exhaustion are separate effects. Intel 670p is a client QLC family; capacity changes affect the specified endurance and write behavior. Confirm SSDPEKNU020TZX1 rather than relying on the 670p series name alone. Intel has transferred client SSD support; use the current Intel/Solidigm support notice for firmware utilities and warranty status. |
Compatibility, installation & service
- Check M.2 2280 PCIe/NVMe signaling, Gen3 x4 lane availability and NVMe UEFI boot support in the host manual. Allow a board thermal pad/cover only with proper contact and fit. Back up before firmware updates; record SMART health and firmware. Long writes can fall below headline burst rates as cache and thermal conditions change.
- Intel 670p is a client QLC family; capacity changes affect the specified endurance and write behavior. Confirm SSDPEKNU020TZX1 rather than relying on the 670p series name alone. Intel has transferred client SSD support; use the current Intel/Solidigm support notice for firmware utilities and warranty status.
- Confirm host boot mode, OS NVMe support, CPU lane generation, socket length/keying, power and controller/backplane qualification from the system manual; physical fit alone does not establish compatibility.
- Before drive replacement, check backup integrity, encryption keys, firmware settings, recovery media and array rebuild plans. Use electrostatic-discharge precautions and never hot-remove unless the host documentation explicitly supports it.
Manufacturer references
