The M8MTJ is a 7.68 terabyte (TB) solid-state drive (SSD) produced by Dell. It is designed for use as an internal storage device in enterprise-level server and storage systems, and utilizes the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to connect to the host system. This SAS SSD uses a 12 Gbps data transfer rate, which is double the speed of the previous 6 Gbps SAS interface and it allows for faster data transfer speeds and lower latency.
The drive is built with Triple-level cell (TLC) NAND flash memory, which is a type of non-volatile memory that stores three bits of data per cell. TLC NAND is less expensive than the single-level cell (SLC) or multi-level cell (MLC) NAND used in some other SSDs, but it also has lower write endurance and may have slower write speeds.
The drive is labeled as "Read Intensive", meaning it is designed to perform better on reading operations than on write operations. This is ideal for scenarios where the data is read more frequently than written, such as in a data warehouse or a content delivery network.
This specific drive is also labeled as "Bics Flash 3d TLC", it means that the drive utilizes BiCS FLASH, which stands for "Bit Cost Scalable Flash". It is the name of Toshiba's 3D NAND flash memory technology. By stacking memory cells vertically, BiCS FLASH increases the density of the flash memory and improves its performance. TLC (Triple-level cell) is a type of BiCS FLASH, it stores 3 bits per cell, which allows for high-density storage at a lower cost per bit compared to SLC (Single-level cell) or MLC (Multi-level cell) flash.
Suitable PerformanceThe performance of the Dell 7.68TB SAS-12GBPS Read Intensive BICS Flash 3D TLC SSD will depend on the specific workload it is being used for, as well as the system it is installed in. In general, this SSD is designed for read-intensive workloads and should offer high read speeds and low latency.
For a read-intensive workload, this SSD should offer a high sequential read speed, up to 12GB/s, due to its SAS-12GB/s interface. Additionally, it should offer a low random read access time, which will help to reduce the time it takes to access and retrieve data from the drive.
The use of BiCS Flash 3D TLC NAND flash memory inside the drive, it provides higher density and lower cost per GB than other types of memory and also improves the endurance and reliability, compared to TLC flash memory that it's not 3D.
Keep in mind that like most SSDs, the performance of the drive can depend on the way it is implemented, RAID configuration, the number of connected devices and its firmware version. Additionally, the TLC NAND flash memory, even the 3D type, may have lower endurance and lower reliability than SLC or MLC based SSDs.
It's important to note that even with a high-performance SSD, the 7.68TB capacity of this drive will still take some time to move all the data to it or from it, that's why it's important to consider the usage and the workloads of the drive before purchasing.
Drive CompatibilityWhen it comes to compatibility of a Dell 7.68TB SSD, it's important to consider several factors to ensure that the drive will work properly in your system.
The first factor to consider is the interface compatibility between the drive and your system. Dell 7.68TB SSDs can come with a variety of interfaces such as SAS, PCIe, NVMe, SATA, etc. and it's important to ensure that your system has the appropriate interface to support the drive. For example, if the drive uses SAS interface, your system must have SAS controller. If it uses NVMe interface, your system must have NVMe M.2 slot or NVMe add in card.
The next factor to consider is the power and thermal requirements of the drive. Dell 7.68TB SSDs can have different power and thermal requirements, and it's important to ensure that your system can provide enough power and cooling to support the drive. Check the drive's datasheet for the power and thermal requirements and make sure your system can meet those requirements.
Another important factor to consider is the software and driver compatibility. Some Dell SSDs are specifically designed to work with certain operating systems, and it's important to ensure that the drive you're interested in is compatible with your system's operating system and any software or applications that will be running on the system. Dell provides detailed documentation, including compatibility lists and installation guides, for each of its SSDs, it's recommended to check the OS compatibility list and system requirements before installing the drive.
Dell's SSD models are specifically designed to be used with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and storage systems, so it's important to check the compatibility of the drive you're interested in with your specific system. In this case, Dell provides detailed documentation and support for the PowerEdge systems.
