400-BTGW Dell Nvme 61.44TB Pcie U.2 2.5 Inch Small Form Factor Sff Solid State Drive

The Dell 61.44TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe U.2 2.5-Inch SFF Enterprise

The Dell 61.44TB PCIe Gen4 4.0 x4 NVMe U.2 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) Enterprise-Class QLC 3D NAND Solid State Drive (SSD) is a high-performance storage solution specifically designed for modern data centers, enterprise servers, and high-demand computing environments. Compatible with Dell 14G, 15G, 16G, and 17G PowerEdge servers, this SSD ensures unparalleled performance, reliability, and efficiency for mission-critical workloads.

This enterprise-class SSD integrates the latest PCIe Gen4 interface, delivering accelerated data transfer speeds, lower latency, and enhanced bandwidth compared to PCIe Gen3 drives. It leverages Quad-Level Cell (QLC) 3D NAND technology to provide massive storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch small form factor, enabling enterprises to scale their storage infrastructure without compromising space or performance.

Enterprise-Class Performance and Reliability

The Dell 61.44TB NVMe SSD is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise environments. Built with advanced error correction and wear-leveling technologies, it ensures consistent performance and data integrity even under heavy workloads. With a U.2 interface and SFF design, it provides fast and secure connectivity for Dell PowerEdge servers, supporting seamless integration into existing enterprise storage solutions.

This SSD excels in high-throughput scenarios, including database management, virtualization, big data analytics, and AI-driven workloads. Its PCIe Gen4 x4 interface allows up to twice the data transfer rate of PCIe Gen3, providing substantial performance gains for read-intensive and write-intensive applications. The QLC 3D NAND memory ensures optimal storage density while maintaining acceptable endurance for enterprise workloads.

PCIe Gen4 4.0 x4

The PCIe Gen4 4.0 x4 interface is a crucial factor in the superior performance of this Dell enterprise SSD. PCIe Gen4 provides double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen3, enabling faster data throughput and lower latency. With x4 lanes, this SSD can handle extremely high-speed sequential and random read/write operations, making it ideal for large-scale enterprise applications where performance bottlenecks are unacceptable.

Enterprises can benefit from PCIe Gen4’s increased efficiency by deploying these drives in storage-intensive environments such as virtualized data centers, cloud storage, and AI computation clusters. The improved bandwidth supports multiple concurrent workloads without slowing down the server, ensuring that Dell PowerEdge servers achieve maximum performance.

QLC 3D NAND Technology

The Dell 61.44TB SSD uses QLC 3D NAND memory, a technology that stores four bits of data per cell, allowing for higher storage density compared to TLC (Triple-Level Cell) or MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND. This makes it an excellent solution for organizations requiring large-scale storage without excessive physical footprint. QLC NAND is particularly suitable for read-intensive applications, archival storage, and cloud services.

While QLC NAND may have slightly lower write endurance than TLC or MLC NAND, Dell addresses this by incorporating robust error correction, wear-leveling algorithms, and power-loss protection. This ensures that the drive maintains integrity and longevity in enterprise-grade environments.

Compatibility with Dell PowerEdge Servers

The Dell 61.44TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD is fully compatible with Dell PowerEdge 14G, 15G, 16G, and 17G servers. These servers are widely used in enterprise data centers for virtualization, database management, and high-performance computing. The U.2 2.5-inch SFF form factor allows for easy installation and hot-swapping, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Advanced Data Protection Features

Dell enterprise SSDs are designed with multiple layers of data protection. Error correction codes (ECC) detect and correct data errors automatically, maintaining data integrity even under heavy workloads. Power-loss protection safeguards data during unexpected outages, while wear-leveling algorithms distribute data writes evenly across the memory cells to extend the SSD’s lifespan.

Endurance and Reliability

Although QLC SSDs generally offer lower write endurance than TLC or MLC drives, the Dell 61.44TB SSD is engineered to handle enterprise workloads effectively. Its robust endurance ratings, combined with advanced firmware optimization, ensure consistent performance throughout the drive’s lifecycle. This makes it a dependable choice for read-intensive and mixed-use workloads.

Power Efficiency

Despite delivering enterprise-class performance, the Dell NVMe SSD consumes less power than traditional SAS or SATA-based SSDs. This efficiency translates to lower operational costs, reduced cooling requirements, and a smaller carbon footprint for large-scale data centers. The combination of high capacity, high speed, and low power consumption makes it an ideal solution for modern enterprise storage needs.

Scalability and Future-Proofing

As businesses grow, their storage needs expand. The Dell 61.44TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD provides scalable storage solutions, allowing enterprises to upgrade or expand storage infrastructure without extensive hardware changes. Its compatibility with multiple generations of Dell PowerEdge servers ensures long-term usability, protecting the investment against evolving technology requirements.

Future-Proof Storage Performance

By supporting PCIe Gen4 technology, the Dell 61.44TB SSD is well-positioned for future enterprise applications. As workloads become more data-intensive and applications demand faster access to storage, these drives offer the performance headroom necessary to meet evolving business requirements without immediate hardware upgrades.
