What performance does the Dell 345-BMJW SSD provide?

The 345-BMJW delivers up to 14,000 MB/s sequential reads and 2.5 million random read IOPS via PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe. This read-intensive design with BiCS TLC NAND excels in analytics and virtualization, offering non-blocking throughput in high-density E3.S configurations for Dell PowerEdge servers.

Which servers support the E3.S form factor of 345-BMJW?

Compatible with Dell PowerEdge Gen15+ models like R760, R760xa, XR7620 featuring E3.S drive bays and PCIe Gen5 HBAs. Verify BIOS/iDRAC support for direct backplane connection; enables 10-16 drives per 1U with cable-free hot-swap.

How does E3.S improve over U.2 for density?

E3.S 2.5-inch (7.5mm) uses slot-based SNIA SFF-TA-1032 connectors for higher density, better airflow, and vibration resistance versus U.2. Eliminates cables, reduces failure points, and allows more drives per chassis in rack servers.

What workloads benefit most from PCIe Gen5 speeds?

Read-intensive tasks like databases, AI inference, big data queries, and caching see dramatic gains from 14GB/s reads and 2.5M IOPS. PCIe Gen5 doubles Gen4 bandwidth, reducing latency for east-west traffic in SDS and HCI.

Does it include thermal management features?

Yes, multiple temperature sensors and host telemetry maintain performance without throttling. Horizontal sled orientation aligns with server airflow; designed for sustained loads in dense PowerEdge configurations.

Is encryption or SED supported on 345-BMJW?

Sources indicate read-intensive TLC NAND; similar Dell SSDs like 345-BGJW offer FIPS SED. Confirm via iDRAC for 345-BMJW—optimized for enterprise security in PowerEdge environments.

Product overview

The Dell 345-BMJW 15.36TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe solid-state drive represents cutting-edge storage for data center environments demanding extreme performance and density. Featuring the innovative E3.S 2.5-inch form factor with 7.5mm thickness, it enables unprecedented drive counts in 1U servers—up to 10-16+ drives—while optimizing airflow and thermal management through slot-based, cable-free installation. Powered by PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and BiCS TLC NAND, it achieves up to 14,000 MB/s sequential reads and 2.5 million random read IOPS, ideal for read-intensive applications like analytics, databases, virtualization, and AI/ML inference. Advanced telemetry and multiple sensors ensure sustained performance under load. Optimized for Dell PowerEdge R760, R760xa, XR7620, and similar Gen15+ platforms with E3.S support, it simplifies serviceability with hot-swap sleds. This drive boosts petabyte-scale capacity per rack unit, reduces TCO through consolidation, and supports software-defined storage, HCI, and cloud-native deployments requiring low-latency east-west traffic.
