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

The Dell 345-BGGC features a read-intensive endurance of 1DWPD over 5 years, equating to approximately 1750TBW for 960GB capacity. This suits workloads with up to 70% reads, such as virtualization and web serving, while TLC NAND ensures cost-efficiency over higher-endurance mixed-use drives.

Which interface and speed does the 345-BGGC support?

It uses SAS 24Gbps (SAS-4) interface, delivering sequential reads up to 2300MB/s and writes to 2000MB/s in enterprise controllers. Backward compatible with SAS 12Gbps, it maximizes bandwidth in PowerEdge 15G/16G servers with dual-port redundancy.

Is the 345-BGGC compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers?

Yes, designed for 14G-16G PowerEdge models including R650, R750, R760, R740xd, with hot-plug 2.5-inch tray. Supports PERC HBA controllers; verify firmware for ISE features in dense storage bays.

What workloads is the read-intensive profile best for?

Optimized for read-heavy applications like boot volumes, caching, databases, and analytics where writes are infrequent. Delivers consistent low-latency performance under sustained loads, outperforming HDDs by 10x in random reads.

What NAND type and sector size are used?

TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND with 512e emulation sectors supports 520-byte metadata for advanced error correction and power-loss protection, standard for enterprise SAS SSDs.

Product overview

The Dell 345-BGGC is an enterprise-grade 960GB solid-state drive designed for high-performance read-intensive workloads in data center environments. Featuring a SAS 24Gbps interface, it supports ultra-fast data transfer rates up to 24 gigabits per second, enabling low-latency access ideal for virtualization, databases, and content delivery networks. With 1DWPD (drive writes per day) endurance rating and ISE (Intelligent Storage Enclosure) optimization, this TLC NAND SSD ensures reliable performance over 5 years in read-heavy applications. The 512e sector format maintains compatibility with legacy systems while optimizing for modern controllers. Housed in a 2.5-inch hot-plug tray/caddy, it integrates seamlessly into Dell PowerEdge 14G/15G/16G servers like R650, R750, R760 series, supporting hot-swap operations without downtime. Power-efficient design reduces operational costs in dense rack configurations. This SSD excels in scenarios requiring sustained read throughput, such as boot drives, caching layers, and analytics platforms, providing cost-effective storage tiering.
