Dell 37HTM 1.92TB SAS 12Gbps Value RI SSD

The Dell 37HTM 1.92TB SAS 12Gbps Value Read Intensive TLC 512e Hot-Plug Solid State Drive is a specialized enterprise-class SSD designed to meet the needs of server environments. Built for speed, endurance, and efficiency, this storage drive brings the best of SAS technology, offering stable performance for data-intensive applications. With its large 1.92TB capacity and optimized read-intensive design, it caters to workloads where high read speeds and reliability are crucial. Hot-plug capability allows seamless replacement and upgrades without interrupting ongoing operations, making it a reliable choice for enterprise IT departments and data centers.

Enterprise-Level Storage with SAS 12Gbps Interface

One of the most defining features of the Dell 37HTM SSD is its SAS 12Gbps interface. Unlike consumer-grade SATA SSDs, SAS drives deliver higher levels of reliability, faster transfer speeds, and dual-port redundancy. This makes them ideal for servers and storage arrays where downtime or data loss can be catastrophic. By leveraging 12Gbps SAS connectivity, the Dell 37HTM ensures that applications run efficiently, databases respond quickly, and virtualization environments operate smoothly.

The SAS Outperforms SATA in Enterprise

SAS technology is purpose-built for enterprise workloads. It allows full-duplex communication, higher queue depths, and robust error correction mechanisms. In contrast, SATA is designed primarily for consumer and light business use. For mission-critical tasks such as transaction processing, big data analytics, and cloud storage management, SAS SSDs like the Dell 37HTM are far superior due to their durability and advanced data integrity features.

Improved Data Transfer Rates with 12Gbps Bandwidth

The 12Gbps bandwidth capability ensures that servers can handle large volumes of data traffic without bottlenecks. Whether processing log files, managing email servers, or handling real-time analytics, the Dell 37HTM SSD provides smooth performance under pressure. Enterprises benefit from faster data retrieval times and reduced latency, which improves user experiences and operational efficiency.

Data-Intensive Workloads

Applications such as financial transaction processing, healthcare imaging, and online retail inventory systems require high-capacity drives. The Dell 37HTM 1.92TB SSD ensures these industries can manage large datasets without slowdowns, keeping business operations efficient and reliable.

Value Read Intensive (RI) Design

The "Value Read Intensive" classification highlights the drive’s optimization for read-heavy workloads. In enterprise environments, many operations involve retrieving and analyzing data rather than continuously writing new information. The Dell 37HTM excels in such conditions, offering excellent performance while ensuring endurance remains sufficient for long-term use.

TLC NAND Flash with 512e Sector Format

The Dell 37HTM utilizes TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND technology, which stores three bits per cell, offering a balance of cost efficiency and performance. Combined with the 512e (512-byte emulation) format, it ensures compatibility with existing server infrastructures that require legacy sector sizes, all while benefiting from modern storage advancements.

Advantages of TLC NAND

TLC NAND allows for higher storage density, enabling drives like the 1.92TB Dell 37HTM to deliver substantial capacity at a competitive cost. While TLC may not match SLC in endurance, its use in read-intensive workloads provides a cost-effective and practical solution for enterprises.

Compatibility with 512e Emulation

Many legacy applications still expect 512-byte sectors. By using 512e emulation, the Dell 37HTM ensures these applications continue to function seamlessly while leveraging modern hardware. This minimizes disruption during upgrades and makes the drive suitable for diverse IT environments.

Hot-Plug Functionality for Continuous Operations

The hot-plug feature of the Dell 37HTM SSD allows IT administrators to replace or upgrade drives without shutting down servers. In mission-critical environments, downtime can lead to financial loss and disrupted services. Hot-plug capability ensures continuous operations, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance windows.
