Enterprise SAS SSD for Dell PowerEdge servers
The DELL 91W3V is a 3.84TB 12Gbps SAS solid-state drive built for mixed-use workloads in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. It fits 2.5-inch drive bays and uses TLC flash memory. This drive targets administrators who need balanced read and write endurance for database, virtualization and general-purpose server tasks.
SAS 12Gbps interface limits
The drive communicates over a 12Gbps SAS link, so throughput is bounded by that bus and by the controller or backplane it connects to. In systems limited to 6Gbps SAS the drive will operate at the lower speed. Cable length, expander topology and concurrent device count also affect sustained bandwidth.
3.84TB capacity and mixed-use headroom
At 3.84TB the drive holds large datasets, multiple virtual machines or sizable database instances with room for growth. Mixed-use TLC endurance suits workloads with a steady blend of reads and writes; pure write-intensive applications such as heavy logging or high-frequency transaction logs will exhaust the write budget sooner.

Questions about this item
Is the 3.84TB capacity the right choice for mixed-use workloads?
The 3.84TB capacity suits mixed-use workloads needing high endurance and consistent performance.
What does the 12Gbps SAS rating deliver inside a PowerEdge server?
The 12Gbps SAS link provides up to 12Gbps throughput when the backplane and controller support the same speed.
Does the SAS interface limit performance in a 2.5-inch bay?
The SAS interface caps at 12Gbps; actual speed depends on the controller and backplane in the 2.5-inch bay.
