Solidigm D7-P5520 3.84TB U.2 15mm enterprise SSD SSDPF2KX038T1GF

3.84TB U.2 15mm enterprise SSD

The Solidigm D7-P5520 is a 3.84TB enterprise solid-state drive in a U.2 15mm form factor. It connects via a PCI-Express 4.0 interface and uses 144L TLC 3D NAND. The drive is rated for 7.0 PBW endurance and carries FIPS security certification. It is built for data-centre and server workloads that demand consistent high throughput.

Suits read-heavy server workloads.

This drive suits read-heavy server workloads such as content delivery, virtualisation and database caching where sequential reads up to 6700 MBps and random reads of 1000000 IOPS matter. The 15mm z-height fits standard U.2 hot-swap bays. Buyers whose chassis only accept 7mm drives cannot use this model. Workloads needing sustained write bandwidth beyond 3600 MBps or higher write endurance should evaluate other options.

U.2 15mm form factor decides fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the U.2 15mm form factor. The drive requires a backplane or carrier that accepts a 15mm z-height and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 electrical connection. If the target system only provides thinner drive slots or a different interface, this SSD will not install.
