Description
Interface and Compatibility
The Dell R9RTY is a 2.5-inch form factor internal solid-state drive (SSD) that uses a SAS-12Gbps interface. It has a storage capacity of 960GB and is designed for read-intensive workloads.
The R9RTY SSD also includes self-encrypting drive (SED) technology, which helps to protect data at rest by encrypting it on the drive itself. This can help to prevent unauthorized access to data in case the drive is lost or stolen.
In terms of compatibility, the Dell R9RTY SSD is designed for use with Dell PowerEdge servers and storage systems that support SAS-12Gbps interface. It is also compatible with some other server and storage systems that support SAS-12Gbps interface.
However, it is important to note that compatibility can vary depending on the specific system configuration and firmware levels. It is always recommended to check the product specifications and compatibility guides before purchasing any hardware components for your system.
Performance Benchmarking
The Dell R9RTY 960GB SAS SSD is designed for read-intensive workloads, such as caching and logging. The performance of the R9RTY SSD can vary depending on the specific system configuration, workload, and testing methodology. However, we can look at some general performance benchmarks to get an idea of how the drive performs.
According to Dell’s product specifications, the R9RTY SSD has a read speed of up to 1,900MB/s and a write speed of up to 1,100MB/s. These speeds are typical for a SAS-based SSD with a capacity of 960GB.
In terms of random read and write performance, the R9RTY SSD can achieve up to 290,000 IOPS for random reads and up to 25,000 IOPS for random writes.
The self-encrypting drive (SED) technology used in the R9RTY SSD can also impact performance, as it introduces additional overhead for encryption and decryption operations. However, the impact on performance is typically minimal, and the benefits of enhanced security may outweigh any performance tradeoffs.
It is important to note that these performance benchmarks are based on manufacturer-provided specifications and may not reflect real-world performance in all use cases. Additionally, the performance of the R9RTY SSD can be impacted by factors such as system configuration, workload, and firmware updates.
Advanced Data Security Features
The Dell R9RTY 960GB SAS SSD includes several advanced data security features, including self-encrypting drive (SED) technology and secure erase functionality.
SED technology helps to protect data at rest by encrypting it on the drive itself. The R9RTY SSD uses hardware-based encryption to ensure that the encryption process does not impact performance. This can help to prevent unauthorized access to data in case the drive is lost or stolen.
In addition, the R9RTY SSD includes secure erase functionality, which allows the drive to be securely erased to ensure that all data is permanently erased and cannot be recovered. This can be useful when decommissioning a system or repurposing a drive.
The R9RTY SSD also supports the TCG Opal 2.01 and IEEE 1667 security standards, which provide additional security features such as pre-boot authentication and remote management.
It is important to note that proper implementation and configuration of these security features is critical to ensuring the security of data on the drive. Additionally, the impact of these features on performance can vary depending on the workload and configuration. It is recommended to work with a qualified security professional to ensure that these features are properly implemented and configured for your specific use case.
