Description
Capacity and Performance
The Dell 6MMMN SATA 480GB 6GBPS Mixed Use TLC Hybrid Carrier SSD has a capacity of 480GB. It uses a 6Gbps SATA interface and has a mixed-use TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash memory. The drive is also a “hybrid carrier” SSD, which means it uses a combination of NAND flash memory and DRAM caching to improve performance.
The specific performance of the drive will depend on a variety of factors, such as the workload and system configuration. However, generally speaking, TLC NAND flash memory is less performant than MLC (multi-level cell) or SLC (single-level cell) NAND flash memory, so the drive may not be as fast as some other SSDs on the market. However, the use of DRAM caching can help to mitigate this and improve overall performance.
Design for Increased Storage Density
The Dell 6MMMN SATA 480GB 6GBPS Mixed Use TLC Hybrid Carrier SSD is designed to increase storage density by using TLC NAND flash memory. TLC NAND flash memory stores three bits of data per cell, which allows for a higher storage density than MLC or SLC NAND flash memory, which store two or one bit per cell, respectively.
Additionally, the drive also uses a “hybrid carrier” design which uses a combination of NAND flash memory and DRAM caching to increase storage density. The DRAM caching allows for faster access to frequently-used data, which reduces the need for large amounts of NAND flash memory to store all data.
The use of NAND flash memory and DRAM caching in combination allows for a smaller form factor and lower power consumption. This is because NAND flash memory is denser, and thus requires less space on the drive, and DRAM caching allows for faster data access, reducing the need for larger NAND flash memory.
Compatibility and Integration With Dell Systems
The Dell 6MMMN SATA 480GB 6GBPS Mixed Use TLC Hybrid Carrier SSD is designed to be compatible and easily integrated with Dell systems. The drive uses the 6Gbps SATA interface, which is a common interface used in Dell systems. This means that the drive can be easily connected to a Dell system’s motherboard, and the system will recognize it as a storage device without the need for additional drivers or software.
Additionally, Dell often provides firmware updates specifically tailored to this drive, which can be used to improve its performance and reliability when used in Dell systems. These firmware updates can be obtained from Dell’s website and applied to the drive through the Dell systems BIOS.
The drive is also designed to work well with Dell’s data protection and management software such as Dell OpenManage systems management software and Dell EMC storage management software. These software can be used to monitor the drive’s health, perform diagnostics, and update the firmware.
