Description
Durability and Reliability
The Dell 03YT5 3.2TB SAS-12GBPS Mix Use Hot-Plug SSD is designed to be durable and reliable for mixed-use workloads such as online transaction processing, data warehousing, and big data analytics.
One of the key factors that determine the durability and reliability of an SSD is its endurance. Endurance is a measure of how many drive writes per day (DWPD) the SSD can handle over its lifetime. This drive has an endurance of 1.6 DWPD which means that it can handle an average of 1.6 drive writes per day for its entire lifespan.
Another important aspect of durability and reliability is the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) which is calculated in hours. This drive has a MTBF of 2,000,000 hours, which means that statistically, the drive is expected to last for 2 million hours of operation before failure.
Additionally, the drive has a Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) of 1 sector per 10^17 bits read, which means that the likelihood of an uncorrectable bit error is extremely low.
It’s also hot-swappable, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the system is running without interruption. This feature allows for easy maintenance, upgrades, or replacement of failed drives in a RAID array or other redundant storage configuration.
It’s important to note that the actual durability and reliability of the drive may vary depending on the specific workload, system configuration, and other factors. To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the drive, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for handling, installation, and maintenance. Also, the drive is designed for mix-use workloads, which means that it has a balance endurance for read and write operations.
Data Encryption and Security
The Dell 03YT5 3.2TB SAS-12GBPS Mix Use Hot-Plug SSD supports hardware-based AES-256-bit encryption which allows to encrypt the data stored on the drive to protect it from unauthorized access. This feature can be used to secure data on the drive and provide a secure storage solution.
AES-256-bit encryption is a widely used encryption standard that uses a 256-bit key to encrypt data. It is considered to be one of the most secure encryption methods available, and is used by many organizations to protect sensitive data.
When hardware-based encryption is used, the encryption process is handled by the drive itself, which means that it does not put additional strain on the host system’s CPU. This can help to reduce the overall system’s power consumption and improve performance.
It’s important to note that while hardware-based encryption can provide a high level of security, it is only as effective as the key management process. It is important to follow best practices for key management, such as storing keys in a secure location and regularly rotating keys.
It’s also important to note that hardware-based encryption does not protect against data loss or corruption caused by hardware failure, software bugs, or other issues. For this reason, it is recommended to regularly backup important data and to use other data protection measures such as RAID or backup software.
High Performance & RAID Facilities
The Dell 03YT5 3.2TB SAS-12GBPS Mix Use Hot-Plug SSD is designed to provide high-performance storage for mixed-use workloads such as online transaction processing, data warehousing, and big data analytics.
Here are some of the drive’s performance specifications:
- Capacity: 3.2TB
- Form Factor: 2.5-inch
- Interface: SAS 12 Gbps
- Flash Memory Type: TLC (Triple-Level Cell)
- Sequential Read Speed: Up to 1200MB/s
- Sequential Write Speed: Up to 900MB/s
- Random Read Speed: Up to 270,000 IOPS
- Random Write Speed: Up to 10,000 IOPS
- Endurance: 1.6 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day)
In terms of RAID, this drive can be used in RAID configurations to increase performance, data availability and data protection. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of storing data across multiple drives in a way that protects against data loss in case of a drive failure.
The most common RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 6. RAID 0 is used for performance and it splits data across multiple drives, RAID 1 is used for data availability and it mirrors data across multiple drives, RAID 5 is used for data protection against one drive failure and RAID 6 is used for data protection against two drive failure.
It’s important to note that RAID is not a replacement for a backup
