Dell 3.84TB SAS enterprise SSD

The Dell 05Y4TP is a 3.84TB 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface. It uses 3D TLC flash and delivers sustained sequential reads up to 2,100 MB/s and writes up to 2,000 MB/s. The drive is rated at 1 DWPD endurance with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF and ships installed in a Dell G14 tray.

Read-intensive workloads in compatible Dell

This drive suits administrators deploying read-intensive applications such as backup, archiving, big-data analytics and cloud storage on supported 14th, 15th, 16th or 17th generation PowerEdge R-series servers. It is not suited for write-heavy transactional databases requiring higher DWPD ratings or for systems lacking a 12Gb/s SAS backplane and controller.

SAS 12Gb/s dual-port interface with hot-swap

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS dual-port interface with hot-swap support; the drive requires a compatible SAS backplane and controller to operate and will not function on platforms that only provide other interfaces.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 3.84TB model or a smaller capacity for my read-intensive workload?

The 3.84TB capacity delivers sustained sequential reads up to 2,100 MB/s and writes up to 2,000 MB/s with a 1 DWPD endurance rating, making it suited for read-heavy enterprise applications.

What do the 2,100 MB/s read and 2,000 MB/s write figures mean once the drive is installed in a server?

Those are sustained sequential speeds over the SAS 12Gb/s link; real-world throughput depends on the controller, queue depth and workload mix, but the drive is rated for 1 DWPD across the full 3.84TB.

Will the SAS 12Gb/s interface work with my existing 6Gb/s backplane and what speed will it run at?

The drive uses a dual-port SAS 12Gb/s interface; it will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on an older backplane, capping sequential throughput at the lower link rate.
