Capacity and form factor

The Solidigm D5-P5316 is a 15.36TB enterprise SSD built in the E1.L 9.5mm form factor. It targets data-centre operators who need high-density read-intensive storage in a compact server chassis. The drive uses 144L QLC 3D NAND and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface. It is not suited for workloads that demand sustained heavy write endurance or low-latency random write performance.

Sequential throughput and endurance headroom

Sequential reads reach up to 7000 MBps while sequential writes peak at 3200 MBps. Random read performance is rated at 800000 IOPS with 4K blocks. Random write throughput is 399 MB/s measured with 64K blocks. Endurance is specified as 10.78PBW for 64K random writes and 51.85PBW for 64K sequential writes, giving ample headroom for read-heavy datasets but limited margin for write-intensive applications.

Power, thermal and integration notes

The drive draws 5W at idle and up to 25W under load, operating between 0°C and 70°C. It tolerates 1000G shock and up to 3.13 GRMS non-operating vibration. A 2,000,000-hour MTBF supports long-term deployment. The E1.L 9.5mm size requires a compatible backplane or carrier; it does not fit standard 2.5-inch or M.2 slots. No encryption or power-loss protection features are listed.

Questions about this item

Will this E1.L 9.5mm PCIe 4.0 drive fit and run in my existing PCIe 3.0 server backplane?

The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and the E1.L 9.5mm form factor; it will negotiate down to PCIe 3.0 speeds in a 3.0 slot, but the backplane must accept the longer E1.L ruler length and supply up to 25W active power.

How do I verify the drive is delivering its rated 7000 MBps sequential read and 800000 IOPS random read after installation?

Use a tool such as fio with a 4K random-read workload and a large-block sequential-read test; sustained figures approaching 7000 MBps and 800000 IOPS confirm the PCIe 4.0 link and 144L QLC NAND are operating correctly.

What ships in the single pack and what extra parts — brackets, cables, cooling — must I source separately?

The single pack contains only the SSDPFWNV153TZ1Z drive; E1.L drive carriers, retention clips, and any required airflow ducting for the 25W active power envelope are not included and must be obtained from the server vendor.
