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

The Dell 345-BKJB provides 1 DWPD (drive writes per day) read-intensive endurance over 5 years for the 1.92TB capacity. This rating supports up to 3.5PBW total writes, ideal for workloads where reads dominate 70%+, such as caching and analytics in PowerEdge C6525 servers.

Which servers support the 345-BKJB SSD with tray?

Fully compatible with Dell PowerEdge C6420, C6520, and C6525 modular sled servers. The included tray enables hot-plug installation in 2.5-inch bays, supporting SAS 24Gbps backplanes in these Gen14/15 platforms for seamless upgrades.

What performance does SAS 24Gbps provide on this SSD?

SAS 24Gbps interface delivers up to 2.4GB/s sequential throughput per port with sub-10µs latency. Read-intensive design optimizes for 99% read workloads, providing consistent IOPS in enterprise environments like virtualization and databases.

Is the 345-BKJB suitable for read-heavy applications?

Yes, optimized for read-intensive use with 1 DWPD rating. Excels in scenarios like web caching, log processing, and AI inference where write amplification is low, ensuring longevity in high-read data center deployments.

What form factor and tray does 345-BKJB use?

2.5-inch SFF SSD with Dell-specific tray/caddy (likely NV2RX type). Includes mounting screws for direct installation in PowerEdge sled bays, supporting hot-swap without system interruption.

How does 345-BKJB compare to NVMe alternatives?

SAS 24Gbps offers superior multi-initiator support and longer cable lengths vs NVMe, ideal for densely packed modular servers. While NVMe has higher peak speeds, SAS provides better error recovery and zoning for shared storage in C6525 environments.
