Solidigm D5-P5430 15.36TB U.2 enterprise SSD

This Solidigm D5-P5430 drive delivers 15.36TB of capacity in a U.2 15mm form factor for read-intensive data-centre workloads. It uses 192L QLC 3D NAND and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to serve high-throughput storage arrays and content repositories. The drive is built for servers that prioritise capacity density over write endurance.

PCIe 4.0 x4 interface limits

The PCIe 4.0 x4 link caps sequential throughput at 7000 MBps read and 3000 MBps write, so the drive cannot saturate a PCIe 5.0 slot. Random write performance reaches 120000 IOPS at QD256, which constrains suitability for write-heavy transactional databases. Endurance is rated at .51 DWPD and 14.3 PBW, reflecting a read-optimised design.

0.51 DWPD endurance rating

The .51 drive-writes-per-day rating is the single figure that determines whether this SSD fits a given workload. It supports steady read-centric services such as media streaming, analytics caches or backup targets. Buyers needing sustained mixed or write-intensive IO should select a higher-DWPD alternative.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the D5-P5430 should I select for a read-heavy analytics workload?

This model provides 15.36TB using 192L QLC 3D NAND, rated at 0.51 DWPD and 14.3 PBW, so it suits workloads that write infrequently but need high capacity.

What does the 7000 MBps sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed in a server?

The 7000 MBps maximum sequential read is measured at queue depth 256; typical mixed workloads will see lower throughput depending on queue depth and CPU overhead.

What does the PCI-Express 4.0 interface cap in practice for this U.2 15mm drive?

The drive uses a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection; actual throughput is limited by the 7000 MBps read and 3000 MBps write ratings rather than the link itself.
