Specifications

Dell 3GDK0 3.84TB SATA 6Gbps 2.5inch Read Intensive SSD

The Dell 3GDK0 is an enterprise-grade 3.84TB mission-critical SATA solid-state drive designed specifically for high-performance Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage arrays. It delivers elite tiered-storage performance featuring an ultra-fast flash-based architecture, a stable 6Gbps SATA interface, and a highly efficient 1 Drive Write Per Day (1DWPD) endurance profile. Optimized for modern data center scalability, it is engineered to handle highly intensive, read-heavy workloads, virtualization hosting, web serving, and enterprise applications demanding consistent low latency and 24/7 online availability.

Performance & Benefits

• Maximum Enterprise Speed: Utilizing solid-state flash technology, it dramatically minimizes latency and eliminates mechanical seek times, providing significantly faster read/write response times and vastly superior IOPS compared to standard enterprise hard drives.

• Stable Data Throughput: The reliable 6Gbps SATA interface provides external data transfer rates up to 600 MB/s, optimized with enterprise-grade signal integrity for dense multi-drive storage environments and legacy system compatibility.

• Massive Storage Efficiency: Packed with a massive 3.84TB capacity in a compact 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), allowing IT managers to maximize storage density, optimize rack space, and reduce power consumption per terabyte.

• Optimized Read Endurance (1DWPD): Engineered with a 1 Drive Write Per Day rating, this SSD is custom-tailored for read-intensive enterprise applications—such as boot volumes, read caching, streaming media, and e-commerce content delivery networks (CDNs)—ensuring long-term drive wear-leveling stability.

• Mission-Critical Reliability: Built for intensive 24/7 continuous enterprise operations, featuring robust flash management, end-to-end data-path protection, and corporate-grade reliability metrics to mitigate data corruption and drive failure.

• Hot-Plug Support: Support for seamless hot-swapping allows physical drive replacement, parity rebuilds, or scaling storage capacity on the fly without forcing a system shutdown, eliminating costly deployment downtime.
