Upgrade your enterprise storage infrastructure with the Dell 1.92TB 12G SAS Read Intensive (RI) Small Form Factor SSD, featuring the enterprise-class KIOXIA PM5-R platform. Designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerVault storage systems, this SSD delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and endurance for read-intensive workloads including virtualization, cloud computing, database management, data analytics, and mission-critical business applications.
Built on KIOXIA's advanced 64-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D TLC NAND technology, the PM5-R Series provides a significant performance advantage over traditional hard drives while maintaining enterprise-grade durability and operational efficiency. The drive utilizes a dual-port 12Gb/s SAS interface to ensure high availability and seamless integration within enterprise storage environments. With sequential read speeds up to 2,100 MB/s and random read performance reaching up to 385,000 IOPS, this SSD helps accelerate workloads, reduce latency, and improve overall system responsiveness.
The Dell TDNP7 is the SIE (Sanitize Instant Erase) / Non-SED version of the PM5-R platform. Unlike Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) models, this drive does not provide active hardware-based encryption during normal operation. Instead, it supports Sanitize Instant Erase functionality, enabling rapid and secure drive sanitization when retiring or repurposing the drive, making it suitable for organizations that require secure data removal without full-time hardware encryption.
Enterprise-class features including Power Loss Protection (PLP), end-to-end data protection, dual-port SAS connectivity, hot-plug capability, and Dell-certified firmware make this SSD an excellent choice for 24/7 data center deployments and storage cluster environments.
