Capacity and interface

This 3.84TB enterprise SSD uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5in form factor. It is built for read-intensive workloads in servers and storage arrays. Sequential speeds reach 2100 MB/s read and 2000 MB/s write.

Suited for read-heavy arrays.

The drive is rated at 1 DWPD, making it a match for backup, archiving and analytics where reads dominate. It is not designed for workloads that need higher write endurance. The SAS interface is not compatible with standard desktop PCs.

Endurance rating

At 1 DWPD the drive can write its full capacity once per day over the warranty period. This single figure determines whether the SSD fits a read-intensive deployment or falls short for mixed or write-heavy applications.

Highlights

  • 84 TB capacity supports large enterprise datasets

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5in SAS 12Gb/s drive in a hot-swap bay, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap tray until the dual-port SAS connector seats firmly; the step most people miss is verifying the carrier latch clicks so the dual-port link stays secure under vibration.

What maintenance or replacement will the 3.84TB 1 DWPD SSD need later?

With 1 DWPD endurance and 2,000,000-hour MTBF, the drive itself needs no scheduled maintenance; replacement is only required once the rated write budget is exhausted or a SMART alert flags wear.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on the PM1643a 2000 MB/s sequential write drive?

The 1 DWPD endurance rating is the first hard limit; continuous writes at 2000 MB/s will consume the daily write budget before thermal throttling or the 12Gb/s SAS interface saturates.
