Capacity and Interface

The Solidigm D5-P5430 is a 3.84TB enterprise SSD built for read-intensive data-centre workloads. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface in a U.2 15mm form factor and is suited for servers that need high-capacity flash storage.

Build Quality and Mounting

The 15mm z-height fits standard 2.5-inch U.2 drive bays with appropriate backplane clearance. Opal security is supported for hardware-based encryption. The drive weighs 150g and is rated for 1,000 G shock resistance and 2.17 GRMS operating vibration.

Endurance Metric

Endurance is rated at up to .55 DWPD with 3.8 PBW total bytes written, a figure that determines whether the drive meets a given write workload. Random write performance reaches 54,500 IOPS at QD256 while sequential write peaks at 900 MBps.

Questions about this item

What sequential write speed does the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface cap the D5-P5430 at?

The drive reaches up to 900 MBps sequential write over its PCIe 4.0 x4 link.

Does the 15 mm U.2 form factor fit a standard 2.5-inch 7 mm bay?

No, the 15 mm height requires a 2.5-inch bay that accepts 15 mm drives or a U.2 backplane with 15 mm clearance.

How is the D5-P5430 installed in a server, and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a U.2 hot-swap tray until the connector seats, then lock the tray lever; the step often missed is fully engaging the lever to secure the power and data connection.
