DELL 0X31G3 960GB 3 DWPD SATA G13 Hybrid 3.5in enterprise SSD

Dell 0X31G3 960GB SATA enterprise SSD

The Dell 0X31G3 is a 960GB 3D TLC solid-state drive built for mixed-use workloads in Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays. It connects over a SATA 6Gb/s interface and ships mounted in a hybrid 2.5 to 3.5 inch tray for 3.5-inch drive bays. The drive is rated at 3 DWPD endurance with power-loss data protection and hot-swap capability.

Upgrading from HDDs or lower-endurance SSDs

Replacing mechanical hard drives with this SSD removes rotational latency and raises sustained sequential reads to 560 MB/s and writes to 510 MB/s. The jump is worth it when workloads demand consistent mixed-read-write throughput and the 3 DWPD rating matches the write intensity of the application.

960GB capacity with 3 DWPD headroom

At 960GB the drive comfortably holds operating-system images, application binaries and active project data for database, analytics and backup workloads. It runs out when capacity planning calls for multi-terabyte datasets or when write-heavy streams exceed the 3 DWPD endurance budget over the drive’s service life.
