Description
High Performance
The Dell 400-BDCG 7.68TB SAS-12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD is a high-capacity, high-performance solid state drive that is designed for read-intensive workloads. The drive has a large storage capacity of 7.68TB, which allows for the storage of a large amount of data.
The drive uses SAS-12Gbps interface, which is a high-speed interface that allows for fast data transfer. The drive is also TLC (triple-level cell) based, which means it stores 3 bits of data per cell, resulting in higher storage density but less endurance than MLC or SLC.
The drive is designed to be hot-pluggable, which means it can be easily removed and replaced without shutting down the system. This feature makes it easy to upgrade or replace the drive in case of failure or to increase capacity.
In terms of performance, the drive is optimized for read-intensive workloads, meaning it is capable of delivering fast read speeds. The drive is not optimized for write-intensive workloads, meaning write speeds may be slower than read speeds.
High Compatibility
The Dell 400-BDCG 7.68TB SAS-12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD is designed to be compatible with a wide range of Dell servers and storage systems that support 12 Gbps SAS interfaces.
It is compatible with 12 Gbps SAS-enabled Dell PowerEdge servers, Dell PowerVault storage arrays, and Dell Compellent storage systems. It is also compatible with other non-Dell SAS-enabled servers and storage systems, provided that they have a 12 Gbps SAS interface and support the necessary physical form factor and connector.
It is important to verify that the system you plan to use it with supports the correct form factor and connector, as well as that you have the latest firmware and driver versions before installing the drive.
It is also important to note that the performance, data integrity and reliability may be affected by various factors such as, the environment, usage, etc. and it is always recommended to consult the vendors website and support teams to ensure full compatibility before installing.
Reliability
The Dell 400-BDCG 7.68TB SAS-12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD is a reliable storage device that is designed for read-intensive workloads in enterprise and data center environments. TLC NAND flash memory is less durable than MLC or SLC NAND, but it is still considered to be reliable for read-intensive workloads.
The drive is built to meet high standards for reliability and is tested for compatibility and performance with Dell servers. It also features advanced wear leveling, error correction, and bad block management to ensure the longevity of the drive and to prevent data loss.
As with any storage device, the reliability of the Dell part is 7.68TB SAS-12GBPS Read Intensive TLC Hot-Plug SSD can be affected by a variety of factors such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and power fluctuations. It is therefore important to maintain appropriate environmental conditions and to properly install and configure the drive to ensure the best possible performance and reliability.
It is also important to consider your specific use case and requirements when selecting a storage device. For example, if you are dealing with mission-critical data and high-write workloads, a more durable and write endurance optimized drives like SAS-12GBPS MLC SSDs or SATA-6GBPS TLC SSDs are highly recommended.
