Frequently asked questions

What are the sequential read and random IOPS performance specifications?

The PM1643A delivers up to 2,100 MB/s sequential read throughput and 450,000 random read IOPS, with sequential write at 2,000 MB/s and random write IOPS at 90,000. These metrics are optimized for read-heavy workloads typical in enterprise data centers, ensuring consistent performance under mixed-workload conditions across multiple virtual machines and applications.

Is this drive compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers?

Yes, the PM1643A is fully compatible with Dell PowerEdge 14G, 15G, and 16G chassis including R440, R450, R550, R650, R750, R760, and C6600 series. The 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor integrates directly into standard drive bays, and the drive supports Dell OpenManage management tools for simplified deployment and monitoring across enterprise infrastructure.

What data protection features does this SSD include?

The PM1643A incorporates end-to-end data path protection, advanced error correction code (ECC), and power-loss protection to safeguard in-flight data during unexpected power interruptions. UBER rating of 1 sector per 10^17 bits ensures exceptional data integrity. Firmware-level monitoring enables proactive health assessment and integration with enterprise management tools for predictive maintenance.

What is the endurance rating and MTBF for this drive?

The PM1643A features a 2,000,000-hour mean time between failures (MTBF) rating and is rated for 1 DWPD (drive writes per day), reflecting its read-intensive optimization. Advanced wear-leveling and bad-block management algorithms ensure long-term reliability and consistent performance throughout the drive's operational life in mission-critical environments.

What interface and connectivity does the PM1643A support?

The drive uses a single SAS 12Gbps port providing 12 gigabits-per-second bandwidth. The SAS interface supports both 6Gbps SATA and 12Gbps SAS protocols, enabling backward compatibility with existing storage controllers while leveraging newer technology. This flexibility allows organizations to upgrade infrastructure incrementally without replacing legacy systems.

How does this drive compare to write-intensive SSDs?

The PM1643A is optimized specifically for read-heavy workloads with lower write amplification, enabling sustained long-term use without performance degradation. The 1 DWPD endurance rating reflects this read-intensive design. For workloads requiring high write throughput (databases, transactional systems), write-optimized SSDs with higher DWPD ratings would be more appropriate.
