Description
Design and Form Factor
The Dell 345-BCWI is a small form factor (SFF) solid-state drive (SSD) with a 2.5-inch form factor. It is designed to fit into servers and storage arrays that require high-performance and high-reliability storage solutions. The PM6 series enterprise-class SSD is built with TLC NAND flash technology, which offers high-density storage capacity at a lower cost per GB. The drive is also equipped with a SAS 12Gbps interface, which provides fast data transfer speeds and reliable connectivity.
The design of the 345-BCWI SSD is optimized for use in data center environments, where space is often limited and performance is critical. Its small form factor allows for high-density storage configurations, while its enterprise-class features ensure reliable performance and endurance. The drive is also hot-pluggable, which means it can be replaced or upgraded without the need to shut down the server or storage array.
Performance and Endurance
The Dell 345-BCWI 800GB SAS 12Gbps Mixed Use TLC Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5 Inch PM6 Series Enterprise Class Solid State Drive is designed to deliver high performance and endurance for mixed workloads in enterprise environments.
The drive features a SAS interface with a 12Gbps data transfer rate, enabling faster access to data and applications. It uses Triple-Level Cell (TLC) flash memory technology, which provides higher storage density and lower cost compared to other flash memory technologies. The drive has a capacity of 800GB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data.
In terms of performance, the Dell 345-BCWI has a read speed of up to 2100MB/s and a write speed of up to 1150MB/s, which allows for fast data transfer and improved application performance. The drive also has a random read input/output operations per second (IOPS) of up to 295,000 and a random write IOPS of up to 70,000, making it suitable for mixed workloads that require high IOPS.
In terms of endurance, the Dell 345-BCWI has a 1.3 drive writes per day (DWPD) endurance rating, which means that it can withstand 800GB of data written to the drive every day for five years without failing. This level of endurance makes the drive suitable for use in demanding enterprise environments that require high write performance.
Reliability and Data Security
The Dell 345-BCWI 800GB SAS 12GBPS Mixed Use Tlc Small Form Factor Sff 2.5 Inch Pm6 Series Enterprise Class Solid State Drive is designed to provide high reliability and data security for enterprise applications.
The drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of up to 2 million hours, which means that it is highly reliable and can operate for a long period of time without failure. It also has an endurance rating of up to 1.3 drive writes per day (DWPD), which means it can handle a significant amount of data writes and still maintain its performance and reliability.
In terms of data security, the drive comes with self-encrypting drive (SED) technology that encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, making it difficult for unauthorized access to data. The SED technology also allows for secure erase of the drive in the event of disposal or repurposing, preventing data breaches.
Additionally, the drive is compliant with TCG Enterprise standards and is FIPS 140-2 certified, ensuring that it meets strict security requirements for government and regulated industries.
