Description
Capacity & Performance
The Dell 9Y3HD is a 3.84TB SATA SSD with a read intensive performance profile and MLC (Multi-Level Cell) flash memory technology. It operates at a 6Gbps data transfer rate and is designed for hot-plug use in data center and enterprise environments.
Capacity:
- Raw Capacity: 3.84TB
- Usable Capacity: 3.84TB
Performance:
- Sequential Read Speed: Up to 550 MB/s
- Sequential Write Speed: Up to 140 MB/s
- Random Read IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second): Up to 90,000 IOPS
- Random Write IOPS: Up to 35,000 IOPS
These specifications indicate that the drive is capable of delivering high read performance, with somewhat lower write performance, and is intended for use in read-intensive workloads. The sequential read and write speeds indicate the maximum data transfer rate for large blocks of data, while the random read and write IOPS indicate the maximum number of small, random I/O operations that the drive can handle per second.
Read Intensive MLC Technology
The Dell 9Y3HD 3.84TB SATA 6GBPS Read Intensive MLC Hot Plug SSD is a solid state drive (SSD) with the following features:
- Capacity: 3.84TB
- Interface: SATA 6GBPS
- Type: Read Intensive Multi-Level Cell (MLC)
- Hot Plug support: Yes (can be inserted or removed from a running system)
MLC technology refers to the type of NAND flash memory used in the SSD. MLC stores multiple bits of data per cell, which results in a lower cost per GB compared to Single-Level Cell (SLC) technology, but has slower write speeds and a lower endurance. The “Read Intensive” aspect of this SSD means it is optimized for reading data, rather than writing it.
The Hot Plug feature allows the SSD to be inserted or removed without having to power down the system, making it more convenient for data center use.
Hot Plug Support
The “Hot Plug” support of the Dell 9Y3HD 3.84TB SATA 6GBPS Read Intensive MLC Hot Plug SSD means that the drive can be inserted or removed from a running system without having to power down the system first. This makes it easier to perform maintenance or upgrade the drive without causing downtime.
This feature is useful in data center environments where systems need to run continuously and minimize disruptions. With hot plug support, drives can be replaced without having to shut down the entire system, reducing downtime and increasing overall efficiency.
