What is the endurance rating of the Dell 345-BGDK SSD?

The Dell 345-BGDK features 1 DWPD read intensive endurance, suitable for workloads with up to 1 full drive write per day over 5 years. This equates to approximately 350TBW, balancing cost and reliability for enterprise read-heavy applications like virtualization and databases.

Which PowerEdge servers support the 345-BGDK SSD?

Compatible with PowerEdge models including C6420, C6520, R340, R440, R550, R640, R650, R6515, R6525, R660, R740, R7515, R7525, R760, and more 14G-16G servers. Hot-plug tray ensures easy installation in SFF bays.

What performance specs does the 345-BGDK provide?

SAS 24Gbps interface delivers sequential read up to 600 MB/s and write up to 530 MB/s. TLC NAND with ISE 512e supports high queue depths for consistent performance in multi-user server environments.

Is the 345-BGDK suitable for mixed workloads?

Designed for read intensive use (1 DWPD), it excels in scenarios with 70-90% reads like boot volumes, caching, and analytics. For write-heavy tasks, consider mixed-use variants like 345-BGFK.

What form factor and connectivity does it use?

2.5-inch SFF drive with integrated hot-plug tray for 3.5-inch bay compatibility. SAS 24Gbps dual-port ensures redundancy and high bandwidth in RAID configurations.

How does SAS 24Gbps benefit over SATA?

SAS 24Gbps offers dual-port failover, higher IOPS, and better error correction than SATA, critical for mission-critical servers. Backward compatible with 12Gbps controllers in PowerEdge systems.
