Some of the DC P3608's features include:

Enhanced Power Loss Management - Protection from unplanned power loss called PLI (Power Loss Imminent).
20mm HET MLC NAND (High-Endurance Technology) - The drive has extremely high durability with the 4TB drive being able to write up to 21.9PB over the life of the drive before wearing out.
End-to-End Data Protection - End-to-end data protection and ECC (Error Correction Code) Dual NVMe Controller - More effecient than SATA or SAS, the dual controller architecture allows the SSD to simultaneously transfer data with this improved efficiency.
