The Dell 400-BFOI is a solid state drive (SSD) that is designed for read-intensive workloads. This drive has a capacity of 7.68 terabytes (TB) and uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems. The drive also supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps, which is a faster data transfer rate than the 6 Gbps supported by some other SAS drives.
This drive uses TLC NAND flash memory and has built-in error correction and data protection features. TLC NAND (triple-level cell NAND) is a type of flash memory that stores three bits of data per cell, and this technology provides a good balance of cost and performance. Additionally, this drive use 3D TLC flash, this 3D NAND technology stack the memory cells in multiple layers that increases the storage capacity in a same package size while also increases the endurance and performance.
The drive is also hot-plug, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running, allowing for a more flexible storage management and reduces downtime.
In terms of Random IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), the Dell SSD is rated for 80000 IOPS read and 22000 IOPS write. The high read IOPS performance make it a good fit for read intensive workloads like Database, OLAP, OLTP, and other applications requiring high read activity.
The drive is also equipped with BICs (Built-in-Self-Test), which is a diagnostic test performed by the drive itself, to check for any hardware errors before it even becomes an issue and prevents data loss, this feature improves data reliability and drives availability.
In terms of compatibility, the drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of enterprise storage systems that use the SAS interface. It is a 2.5-inch form factor, which is a common size for SAS drives and it should fit into most standard drive bays. However, it is always recommended to check the compatibility with the vendor or with the server/storage vendor to ensure that it is compatible and supported with the specific hardware and software that you plan to use.
Exceptional ReliabilityThe Dell 400-BFOI 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive BICs Flash 3d TLC Hot-plug Solid State Drive is designed to be a highly reliable storage solution.
One key feature of the drive that contributes to its reliability is its use of TLC NAND flash memory with 3D TLC technology. 3D TLC technology stacks memory cells in multiple layers, which increases storage capacity in the same package size, while also increasing endurance and performance. TLC NAND flash memory is known for its reliability, and it helps to ensure that data is stored properly without any errors.
Another feature that contributes to the drive's reliability is the use of BICs (Built-in-Self-Test). BICs is a diagnostic test performed by the drive itself, to check for any hardware errors before it even becomes an issue and prevents data loss. This feature improves data reliability and drive availability by detecting any issues before they occur, and allowing you to take preventive measures.
The drive is also hot-plug capable, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running. This allows for more flexible storage management and improves the uptime, reducing the chances of the drive failing.
The drive is tested and validated by Dell, this ensures that the drive will work seamlessly with Dell systems and other systems that are SAS compatible, reducing the risk of compatibility issues.
High-performanceThe performance of the Dell 400-BFOI 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive BICs Flash 3d TLC Hot-plug Solid State Drive should be high for read-intensive workloads.
The drive has a large capacity of 7.68 terabytes, which allows for storage of large amount of data. The drive uses TLC NAND flash memory with 3D TLC technology which helps to increase storage capacity, endurance and overall performance of the drive.
The drive supports a data transfer rate of 12 Gbps which is faster than the 6 Gbps supported by some other SAS drives. This allows the drive to read and write data more quickly, which can help improve overall system performance. The 3D TLC flash technology provides a good balance of cost and performance and increases the overall endurance of the drive.
In terms of Random IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), the Dell SSD is rated for 80000 IOPS read and 22000 IOPS write. These high numbers are consistent with its primary usage as a read intensive drive, which can handle high concurrency applications and heavy read workloads.
The drive also has Built-in-Self-Test (BICs) which is a diagnostic test performed by the drive itself to check for any hardware errors, this feature can help to improve data reliability and drive availability.
The drive is hot-plug capable, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the system is still running. This can help improve system availability and reduce downtime, allowing for more flexible storage management and upgrades.
In summary, The Dell 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive BICs Flash 3d TLC Hot-plug Solid State Drive is a high-performance storage solution that is well-suited for read-intensive workloads in enterprise storage systems. The 3D TLC flash technology, BICs, and hot-plug capability, provide a good balance of cost, performance, reliability and uptime.
