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

The Dell 345-BJQT offers 3 DWPD (drive writes per day) endurance over 5 years, equating to approximately 800TBW for 480GB capacity. This mixed-use rating supports 70/30 random read/write workloads in enterprise servers, outperforming read-intensive drives for databases and virtualization.

Which Dell servers support the 345-BJQT SSD tray?

Compatible with PowerEdge 14G, 15G, and 16G servers including R440, R540, R640, R650, R740, R750, T140, T550, C4140, C6420, C6525, and MX series. The customer kit tray enables hot-swap in 2.5-inch bays without system interruption.

What performance specs does the 345-BJQT deliver?

SATA 6Gbps interface provides up to 550MB/s sequential read and 520MB/s write speeds, with 90K/40K random IOPS. 512e format enhances efficiency for 4K-aligned applications, ideal for low-latency server environments.

Is the 345-BJQT suitable for mixed-use workloads?

Yes, certified mixed-use (MU) with balanced read/write optimization via TLC NAND and enterprise firmware. Excels in virtualization, ERP, and caching scenarios versus read-only drives, offering cost-effective endurance.

What tray is included with the 345-BJQT?

Includes Dell customer kit (CK) 2.5-inch hot-plug tray, compatible across PowerEdge generations. Supports tool-less installation in standard drive bays for rapid field upgrades.

How does 512e format benefit the 345-BJQT?

512e emulation presents 512-byte sectors to OS while using 4KB physical pages, improving density and sequential performance. Fully supported by modern OS/filesystems like Windows Server, RHEL, reducing overhead in enterprise apps.
