Enterprise storage density

The Solidigm D5-P5430 is a 30.72TB enterprise SSD built in the E3.S 7.5mm form factor for PCIe 4.0 x4 servers. It targets data-centre operators who need maximum capacity per drive bay for read-intensive workloads such as content delivery, warm storage and analytics repositories.

Capacity headroom and write limits

The drive delivers up to 7000 MBps sequential read and 971000 random read IOPS, so large datasets stream quickly. Sequential write peaks at 3000 MBps and random write at 85000 IOPS, while endurance is rated at 0.56 DWPD or 31.22 PBW, meaning sustained heavy write traffic will exhaust the budget well before the five-year horizon.

E3.S 7.5mm form factor fit

This drive only fits bays and backplanes designed for the E3.S 7.5mm standard; it will not install in U.2, U.3, M.2 or taller E3.S slots. Verify the chassis supports PCIe 4.0 x4 wiring and the 7.5mm z-height before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the E3.S 7.5mm form factor fit in my existing PCIe 3.0 server backplane?

The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and is electrically compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, though sequential speeds will be limited to the 3.0 bandwidth ceiling. Physical fit depends on your chassis supporting the E3.S 7.5mm form factor.

How can I verify the drive delivers the rated 971000 IOPS random read performance after installation?

Run a 4K random read test at queue depth 256 using a tool such as FIO; sustained results near 971000 IOPS confirm the controller and 192L QLC NAND are operating as specified.

Does the single pack include a heatsink or mounting hardware for the E3.S slot?

The single pack contains only the SSD itself; any required E3.S heatsink, retention clip or cage adapter must be sourced separately from your server vendor.
