Protect your data center investment by replacing legacy HDDs with the
trusted Intel® SSD DC S4500 Series. The newest members of
the 2nd Gen Intel® 3D NAND SSD family feature a new Intel-developed SATA
controller, innovative SATA firmware, and the industry’s highest density 3D
NAND. Highly reliable, these storage inspired SSDs enable data centers to
reduce costs, increase server efficiency, and minimize service disruptions.
The Intel SSD DC S4500 Series storage inspired devices
enable data centers to optimize legacy infrastructures while enabling their
business growth.
Built for compatibility in legacy infrastructures, the SSD DC S4500 Series with a SATA interface enable easy storage upgrades that minimize the costs
associated with modernizing your data center. These latest generation enterprisegrade
SSDs reduce power demand and cooling requirements by up to 3.2x, lowering
operational costs that scale across the data center.
Based on TLC Intel® 3D NAND technology, the SSD DC S4500 Series
offer a variety of capacities, from 240GB up to 4TB, in a standard 2.5-inch form
factor. With larger capacities, data centers can significantly increase data stored
per rack unit versus standard 2.5-inch, 2TB HDDs. Simply by integrating SSDs into
the environment, IT can improve server agility with up to 209x more IOPS/TB,
supporting more users and greater services to grow the business without expanding
the server footprint.
With a 3.2x lower Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) compared to HDDs, IT departments
will spend less time and expense replacing or upgrading storage devices. Intel
SATA SSDs install seamlessly so you can reduce risk of component failures. Equally
important, once the SSDs are installed, the innovative SATA firmware completes
updates without reset and reduces downtime.
For years, Intel has been a leader in providing trusted data center SSDs that maximize data continuity in enterprise and cloud data centers. That reputation continues with the DC S4500 Series with key capabilities that help ensure more uptime.
A new SATA controller for the DC S4500 Series delivers the convergence of scalable capacity and manageability. With Intel’s SATA controller, S4500 Series deliver up to 30% faster mixed workloads, increasing service delivery performance and efficiency.
SATA has long been the cost-effective, industry-standard interface for data center storage. Simply replacing existing HDDs with larger capacity and higher performing Intel SSD DC S4500 Series SATA-based solutions can maximize existing infrastructure investments, while reducing future costs and boosting what IT can deliver to their customers.

The Series 8E entry-level 12 Gbps PCIe Gen3 SAS/SATA RAID adapters deliver the robustness of hardware RAID in an entry-level solution. They offer performance acceleration through built-in cache and are optimized for platforms where a Series 8 adapter would not fit due to price, form factor, or host connectivity. This model fits the requirements of industrial PC workstations or entry-level servers. The 8405E supports a maximum of four devices, as neither supports expanders.
Series 8E RAID adapters can also be coupled with 12 Gbps SSDs, providing maximum read/write bandwidth and IOPS for the most performance-hungry applications. The 512 MB DDR3 (1600 MHz) built-in cache (recommended for read and write-through caching) provides maximum acceleration.

In response to issues identified by external researchers, Intel has
identified security vulnerabilities that could potentially impact
certain desktop PCs and servers.
Systems using the following are impacted:
- Intel ME Firmware versions 11.0.0 through 11.7.0 (Management Engine)
- Intel SPS Firmware version 4.0 (Server Platform Services)
- Intel TXE version 3.0 (Trusted Execution Engine)
These firmware versions are found on certain Intel processors:
- Intel Core Processor (6th, 7th, and 8th generation)
- Intel Xeon Processor E3-1200 v5 and v6
- Intel Xeon Scalable Processor Family
- Intel Xeon Processor W Family
- Intel Atom C3000 Processor Family
- Apollo Lake Intel Atom Processor E3900 series
- Apollo Lake Intel Pentium Processors
- Intel Celeron G, N, and J series Processors
DETECTION
Potentially affected Compucon systems are:
- Compucon Diamond (6 June 2016 - 10 December 2017)
- Compucon Diamond Plus (6 June 2016 - 10 December 2017)
- Compucon Superhawk 1151 (18 February 2016 - 10 December 2017)
- Compucon Onyx Multimedia (2 November 2017 - 10 Decemeber 2017)
- Compucon Workgroup SX E3
(April 2017 - 10 December 2017)
* To determine if your system is affected, use the Intel-SA-00086 Detection Tool.
All systems sold after 10 December 2017 has been patched during system production by the Compucon team.
RESOLUTION
For Compucon desktops please update the Intel ME firmware and driver (to 11.7.0.1040). The firmware is updated with a tool called "MEUpdateTool". Download:
For the Compucon Workgroup SX E3 please update the motherboard BIOS to r2.0c or newer.
INTEL Q&A
Q: What types of access would an attacker need to exploit the identified vulnerabilities?
A: An attacker needs physical access to the platform’s firmware flash to
exploit the vulnerabilities. The attacker gains physical access by
manually updating the platform with a malicious firmware image through
flash programmer physically connected to the platform’s flash memory.
Flash Descriptor write-protection is a platform setting usually set at
the end of manufacturing. Flash Descriptor write-protection protects
settings on the Flash from being maliciously or unintentionally changed
after manufacturing is completed.
If the equipment manufacturer hasn't enabled Intel-recommended Flash
Descriptor write protections, an attacker needs Operating kernel access
(logical access, Operating System Ring 0). The attacker needs this
access to exploit the identified vulnerabilities by applying a malicious
firmware image to the platform through a malicious platform driver.
The vulnerability identified in CVE-2017-5712 is exploitable remotely
over the network in conjunction with a valid administrative Intel
Management Engine credential. The vulnerability is not exploitable if a
valid administrative credential is unavailable.
