DELL 3.84TB SAS 2.5" 12G SSD RI Drive

SKU CH-7CD5-76Y4C

3.84TB SAS 2.5" 12G read-intensive SSD with Dell caddy for PowerEdge R210 through R930 servers

  • 84TB capacity supports large enterprise datasets
  • 12G SAS interface delivers consistent read-intensive throughput
  • 5-inch form factor fits standard server drive bays
  • Includes compatible Dell caddy for direct installation
  • Designed for Dell PowerEdge R210 through R930 series

3.84 TB SAS Enterprise SSD

This 3.84 TB SAS solid-state drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that use 2.5-inch bays and a 12 Gbit/s SAS interface. It ships with a compatible Dell caddy for direct installation in supported chassis. The drive targets read-intensive workloads such as boot, logging and virtualisation storage tiers.

Suits read-heavy server roles.

The RI endurance rating fits workloads dominated by reads, including OS volumes, web serving and VDI linked clones. Environments that sustain heavy random writes — such as OLTP databases, write-ahead logs or continuous video ingest — will exceed the drive’s write budget and should select a write-intensive or mixed-use model instead.

3.84 TB capacity with 12 Gbit/s SAS headroom

The 3.84 TB addressable space accommodates multiple VM images, container layers and OS partitions with room for growth. Sequential throughput saturates the 12 Gbit/s SAS link, while random read IOPS handle parallel VM boot storms. Sustained sequential write streams or high random write duty cycles will hit the endurance ceiling before the interface saturates.

Questions about this item

Does this 12G SAS SSD require a Dell server with a 2.5" drive bay and a compatible SAS controller to operate?

Yes, the drive fits 2.5" bays and connects via a 12G SAS interface; it ships with a Dell caddy designed for PowerEdge R210, R220, R230, R310, R320, R330, R410, R415, R420, R430, R510, R515, R530XD, R610, R620, R630, R710, R715, R720, R720XD, R730, R730XD, R805, R810, R815, R820, R830, R900, R905, R910, R920 and R930 servers.

Will the 3.84TB RI drive work in an older PowerEdge R610 that currently runs 6G SAS drives?

The SSD uses a 12G SAS link that negotiates down to 6G on an R610 backplane, so it will function at the slower speed while keeping the same 2.5" form factor and Dell caddy.

How can I verify the 3.84TB RI drive is recognised and healthy after installation?

Check the server BIOS or iDRAC storage view; the drive should appear as a 3.84TB SAS SSD with a ready status and no media errors reported.
