Description
Enterprise Solid State Drive
The Dell 400-BLKL is a 7.68 terabyte (TB) read intensive PCI-E NVMe internal solid state drive (SSD) that is designed for use in enterprise systems. This drive utilizes the NVMe protocol, which is a high-performance interface designed for use with solid state drives. It connects to the system via the PCI-E bus, which provides a high-bandwidth connection and low latency.
The “read intensive” label means that this drive is optimized for read-heavy workloads, such as data warehousing, business intelligence, and read-intensive application workloads. It also means that the drive may not be ideal for write-heavy workloads.
This drive also offers high sequential read and write performance and low latency for use in a variety of enterprise-class applications. It has a storage capacity of 7.68TB, providing ample storage for large-scale data and file workloads.
It is a internal drive, and it would need to be installed inside the server. This drive is likely intended for use in enterprise-class servers, storage systems, and other high-performance computing applications.
Please keep in mind that, since the drive is not a consumer-grade device, it may require specialized knowledge and expertise to install and configure it properly in a system.
High-performance
The Dell 400-BLKL 7.68TB Read Intensive PCI-E NVMe Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) is designed for use in enterprise systems, so it’s expected to have high performance. The NVMe protocol and PCI-E connection provide low latency and high bandwidth, which can help to improve the performance of the drive. However, the performance specifications will depend on the specific workload and system configuration.
For a read-intensive workload, the drive should be able to deliver high sequential read performance. According to Dell, the drive is capable of achieving sequential read speeds up to 3.2 GB/s, and random read performance up to 1.6 million IOPS.
For write intensive workloads, it will not be as good as write-optimized drives.
Additionally, low latency and high endurance are two key features of this drive which will help to ensure that it can handle high-performance workloads over an extended period of time.
Keep in mind that actual performance will depend on the system configuration, available bandwidth and the number of other devices connected to the system. And in practice the performance of the drive will be affected by factors such as the RAID level, the number of drives in the array, and the workload.
If you’re planning to use this drive in a specific system and application, you may want to consult with Dell or a qualified professional to ensure that it will meet your performance requirements.
Exceptional Reliability
The Dell 400-BLKL 7.68TB Read Intensive PCI-E NVMe Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) is designed to be a reliable storage option for enterprise systems. However, the level of reliability will depend on the specific workload and system configuration.
One key feature of this drive that contributes to its reliability is the use of 3D NAND technology. This allows the drive to store more data in a smaller physical space, which can help to improve performance and reduce the risk of data corruption due to power loss or other types of failures.
The drive also features high endurance, which means it is built to handle a large number of read and write cycles over an extended period of time. This can be helpful for read-intensive workloads where a high amount of data need to be read from the drive.
Additionally, the drive is designed with end-to-end data protection and advanced wear-leveling algorithms to increase the lifespan of the drive.
Another factor that affects reliability is how well the drive is integrated into the system, as well as the quality of the power supply and cooling solutions in the system. It is important to ensure that the drive is installed properly and that it is being used within the operating conditions specified by Dell.
It is also important to note that to guarantee high level of reliability, It’s important to have a good backup system, redundancy, and disaster recovery plan in place to protect the data stored on the drive.
