High-capacity E3.S drive for read-intensive servers

The Solidigm D5-P5430 delivers 15.36TB in a 7.5mm E3.S module built for dense server chassis. It uses 192L QLC 3D NAND and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface to serve capacity-first workloads such as content repositories, warm data tiers and logging archives. The single-pack drive is designed for internal data-centre deployment where space and power budgets are tight.

Sustained behaviour under continuous read load

A 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating reflects the firmware and NAND tuning chosen for steady-state endurance rather than burst speed. The controller maintains consistent throughput during long sequential scans while operating between 0°C and 70°C. Vibration tolerance is rated at 2.17 GRMS across 5 to 700 Hz during operation and 3.13 GRMS across 5 to 800 Hz when powered off, and the drive withstands 1,000 G shock at 0.5 msec.

QLC endurance profile decides fit

The 192-layer QLC architecture prioritises capacity per die over write cycles, so the drive suits workloads that write infrequently and read heavily. Buyers who need higher write endurance or mixed-use durability should evaluate alternative media. The PCIe 4.0 x4 link and E3.S 7.5mm form factor are fixed; systems requiring a different connector or height cannot use this module.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 15.36TB E3.S 7.5mm drive generate during all-day operation?

The drive is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, so it is built to handle continuous workloads within standard server airflow limits.

What server slot is required to install this E3.S 7.5mm PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD?

You need an open E3.S 7.5mm drive bay with a PCIe 4.0 x4 electrical connection and compatible backplane power delivery.

Will this PCIe 4.0 drive work in a PCIe 3.0 backplane I already use?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 interface is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds in an older backplane.
