What are the key specifications of the Dell 3HD13 SSD?

The Dell 3HD13 is an 800GB SLC SAS SSD with 6Gbps interface speed, 2.5-inch form factor, and hot-swap capability. It uses Single-Level Cell NAND for maximum endurance, ideal for write-intensive enterprise applications in PowerEdge servers.

Which Dell servers is the 3HD13 compatible with?

Designed for PowerEdge M910 (2.5") blade servers and compatible with other PowerEdge systems supporting 2.5-inch SAS SSDs. Often bundled with G176J tray for easy installation in Dell rack and blade chassis.

What makes SLC technology beneficial in the 3HD13?

SLC stores one bit per cell, providing higher endurance (up to 100K P/E cycles) and reliability than MLC/TLC. This results in consistent performance for mission-critical datacenters with heavy workloads.

Is the 3HD13 suitable for hot-swap environments?

Yes, the hot-swap 2.5-inch design allows replacement without system shutdown. Compatible with Dell's enterprise SAS backplanes, ensuring redundancy and minimal downtime in production servers.

How does the 6Gbps SAS interface perform?

The 6Gbps SAS (SAS-2) interface supports up to 600MB/s sequential throughput per drive. Dual-port design enables failover redundancy, critical for clustered storage in high-availability datacenter deployments.

What are typical use cases for this enterprise SSD?

Best for database acceleration, virtualization hosts, HPC temporary storage, and boot volumes. SLC endurance handles 24/7 write-heavy operations better than consumer SSDs, with PowerEdge optimization.
