DELL 345-BJVT — 1.92TB SAS 24Gbps FIPS Self-Encrypting (SED) SSD
The DELL 345-BJVT 1.92TB Solid State Drive combines enterprise-grade performance, on-drive FIPS-compliant encryption, and mixed-use endurance in a compact 2.5-inch hot-plug form factor. Designed for 14G, 15G and 16G PowerEdge servers and compatible storage enclosures, this SAS 24Gbps drive balances throughput, reliability and security for modern datacenter workloads.
Overview & positioning
This category covers enterprise SAS solid state drives engineered for mission-critical systems. The DELL 345-BJVT sits in the mixed-use enterprise segment where administrators require strong read/write balance, validated platform compatibility and certified encryption. Its 1.92TB capacity supports dense deployments while preserving predictable endurance suitable for virtualization hosts, mid-tier databases, and mixed application stacks.
Core technical features
- Capacity: 1.92TB (usable capacity varies by RAID and filesystem overhead).
- Interface: SAS 24Gbps (24G SAS) for enterprise connectivity and backward compatibility with SAS ecosystems.
- Security: FIPS-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) — hardware-based encryption protects data at rest.
- Endurance: Rated 3 Drive Writes Per Day (3 DWPD), targeted at mixed-use workloads.
- Sector format: 512e (512-byte emulation on 4K physical sectors) for broad OS compatibility.
- Form factor: 2.5-inch hot-plug, serviceable in front-access drive bays.
- Part number: DELL 345-BJVT — use for procurement, firmware and support lookups.
Compatibility & validated server platforms
The 345-BJVT has been validated across a broad range of Dell PowerEdge systems and compatible chassis. Confirm server firmware and controller compatibility before large-scale rollouts.
- Rack & modular servers: PowerEdge R440, R450, R550, R640, R650, R650xs, R660, R660xs, R740, R740xd, R750, R750xa, R750xs, R760, R760xa, R840, R860, R940, R940xa, R960

Always check Dell's compatibility matrices and release notes for firmware interdependencies between server backplanes, RAID/HBA controllers and drive firmware versions.
Performance highlights
- Sustained throughput: 24G SAS helps increase sustained sequential performance compared to 12G SAS link generations, reducing throughput bottlenecks in multi-threaded server workloads.
- Low latency I/O: SAS SSDs generally deliver lower latency than enterprise SATA drives—beneficial for database transactions and latency-sensitive VMs.
- Mixed workload optimization: The 3 DWPD rating ensures a predictable lifetime for mixed read/write patterns common in VM hosts and application servers.
- Consistent QoS: Enterprise firmware tuning reduces performance cliffs during sustained random I/O.
Security & compliance benefits
Hardware encryption and FIPS compliance are crucial for regulated industries. This drive provides:
- FIPS-validated cryptography for regulatory alignment (where validated model/firmware applies).
- Hardware-based encryption that offloads cryptographic tasks from hosts, preserving CPU cycles.
- Secure erase via key destruction for fast, verifiable decommissioning or repurposing.
- Integration potential with host-based key management, TCG/Opal-compatible controllers and enterprise key escrow solutions.
Deployment scenarios & recommended uses
Common use cases where the 345-BJVT excels:
- Virtualization hosts: Datastores for high VM density due to low-latency random I/O and predictable endurance.
- Primary databases: OLTP workloads that require consistent IOPS performance and on-drive security features.
- Cache & tiered storage: Fast tier for hybrid arrays or caching layers to accelerate hot datasets.
- Secure application stacks: Environments with tight compliance requirements (healthcare, finance, government).
- Edge servers: Distributed infrastructure that benefits from small footprint, hot-swap serviceability and data-at-rest protection.
Comparing to alternative storage types
Consider trade-offs when choosing between SAS SSDs and other technologies:
- NVMe SSDs: Offer lower latency and higher throughput per device, but may require new backplanes/HBAs and a migration plan. SAS SSDs remain attractive for existing SAS infrastructures.
- SATA SSDs: Lower cost but without many enterprise telemetries and protocol robustness; SATA is suitable for lower-priority or archival SSD tiers.
- HDDs: Offer low cost per TB for cold storage but cannot match SSDs for IOPS and latency; mixed-tier designs often pair HDDs and SAS SSDs.
Power, cooling & physical considerations
SSDs typically consume less power and produce less heat than HDDs, but dense deployments require careful thermal planning. Ensure adequate chassis airflow and monitor inlet/outlet temperatures when populating multiple 2.5-inch bays.
Real-world administration tips
- Catalog serial numbers and firmware on receipt to avoid confusion during replacements.
- Use staggered firmware rollouts and canary validation servers to mitigate potential compatibility problems.
- Integrate SED key management with disaster recovery planning; losing keys usually results in irretrievable data.
- Monitor endurance and rotate aging drives proactively to avoid unexpected downtime.
Checklist before deployment
- Confirm server model and backplane support for SAS 24Gbps.
- Validate RAID/HBA firmware compatibility using Dell documentation.
- Plan encryption key management policies and secure escrow.
- Schedule firmware update and monitoring tool deployment with staged testing.
- Estimate usable capacity after RAID/parity and filesystem overhead.
