DELL 84C40 7.68TB 12Gbps SAS 2.5 enterprise SSD

Dell 84C40 7.68TB SAS SSD

The Dell 84C40 is a 7.68TB enterprise solid-state drive built for read-intensive workloads. It uses a 12Gbps SAS interface and a 2.5-inch form factor. The drive suits database servers, virtualisation hosts and content repositories that demand high capacity and consistent read performance.

PM1643a TLC firmware update

The PM1643a controller and TLC NAND are shipped with updated firmware and full component testing. This preparation reduces deployment time and helps maintain steady read latency across the supported Dell PowerEdge platforms. No extra configuration utilities are bundled with the drive.

7.68TB read-intensive capacity

The 7.68TB capacity provides ample headroom for large read-heavy datasets such as analytics warehouses or media libraries. Write endurance is limited by the read-intensive design, so workloads with sustained heavy writes will exceed the drive's rated limits.
