Dell N85XX 3.84TB SAS 12G RI 2.5" Gen13 enterprise

This enterprise solid-state drive delivers 3.84TB of storage in a 2.5-inch small form factor. It is built for Dell Gen13 PowerEdge servers that require high-capacity, read-optimised flash storage. The drive uses MLC memory and a SAS interface to serve read-intensive workloads such as data warehousing and analytics.

SAS 12Gbps interface practical limits

The 12Gbps SAS link provides a maximum theoretical throughput of 12Gbps, though real-world sustained rates depend on the host controller, backplane and cable quality. The interface supports dual-port operation for path redundancy in high-availability clusters. Systems limited to 6Gbps SAS will operate the drive at the lower speed without compatibility issues.

Read-intensive endurance rating

The RI endurance rating means the drive is warrantied for workloads dominated by read operations, typically around one drive write per day. Write-heavy applications such as transaction logging, video ingestion or database redo logs will exceed the rated endurance and should use a write-intensive or mixed-use model instead.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 3.84TB capacity and other available versions?

The drive provides 3.84TB of storage; select this capacity when your read-intensive workload requires that amount of space.

What does the 12Gbps transfer speed mean once the SSD is installed in a server?

The 12Gbps SAS link sets the maximum interface bandwidth; actual throughput depends on the controller and workload.

Which SAS standard does the 12Gbps interface use and what does it cap in practice?

The drive uses a 12Gbps SAS interface, capping the host link at 12Gbps regardless of the backplane or controller generation.
