Frequently asked questions

What interface and performance does the Dell 345-BKSR provide?

The Dell 345-BKSR uses PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface in M.2 2280 form factor, delivering sequential reads up to 7000MB/s and writes up to 5000MB/s typical for read-intensive TLC SSDs. This enables low-latency access ideal for server boot and caching in high-IOPS environments.

Is the 345-BKSR suitable for read-intensive workloads?

Yes, rated read-intensive with TLC NAND, it excels in read-heavy scenarios like virtualization, databases, and content serving. Endurance supports 1 DWPD over 5 years, balancing cost and performance for datacenter tiering.

What security features does this SSD include?

Features self-encrypting drive (SED) technology with hardware-based AES encryption, protecting data at rest without performance impact. Supports TCG Opal standards for enterprise security compliance in servers.

Which Dell servers is the 345-BKSR compatible with?

Designed for Dell PowerEdge servers with M.2 NVMe slots, including recent generations supporting PCIe Gen4. Fits directly into compatible motherboard slots for boot or cache drives without adapters.

How does M.2 2280 form factor benefit deployments?

Compact M.2 2280 size saves space in dense servers, reduces weight, and lowers power draw compared to U.2 drives. Enables high-density storage in edge and rack servers with easy integration.

What is the endurance rating of this SSD?

Read-intensive rating typically offers 1 drive write per day (DWPD) for 5 years, equating to around 700TBW for 960GB capacity. Optimized firmware ensures consistent performance under sustained reads.
