Enterprise storage density

The Solidigm D5-P5430 packs 15.36 TB into an E3.S 7.5 mm module for PCIe 4.0 x4 servers. It targets data centres that need maximum capacity per drive bay and can accept QLC endurance limits. Buyers who need sustained heavy write workloads or higher DWPD ratings should look elsewhere.

Capacity and headroom

Sequential reads reach 7000 MBps and writes 3000 MBps, while random reads hit 935000 IOPS at QD256. The 0.51 DWPD rating and 14.3 PBW total endurance suit read-intensive tiers such as content delivery, warm object storage or logging. Write-heavy databases will exhaust the endurance budget quickly.

Build integration

The drive draws 5 W idle and 21 W active within a 0 °C to 70 °C range. Opal encryption secures data at rest without host software overhead. It fits any backplane wired for E3.S 7.5 mm PCIe 4.0 x4, freeing 2.5-inch bays for other tasks.

Questions about this item

Will the E3.S 7.5 mm form factor fit in a server chassis that currently uses U.2 2.5 inch bays?

No, the E3.S 7.5 mm form factor is physically different from U.2 2.5 inch drives and requires a dedicated E3.S backplane or adapter cage.

Which SMART attributes or LED indicators confirm the PCIe 4.0 x4 link is running at full 7000 MBps read speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in the OS (should show PCIe 4.0 x4) and run a sequential read test; sustained reads near 7000 MBps confirm the link is operating correctly.

Does the single pack include a heatsink, mounting screws, or a PCIe adapter bracket for the E3.S 7.5 mm drive?

The single pack contains only the drive itself; any heatsink, screws, or adapter brackets must be purchased separately.
