What is the storage capacity of the EMC 118999843 SSD?

The EMC 118999843 provides 3.84TB of storage capacity. This capacity, combined with the 2.5 inch form factor, allows IT teams to deploy high densities of flash storage in standard server or storage chassis. It aligns with enterprise requirements where multi-terabyte SSDs are used to consolidate workloads and simplify storage management.

Which interface does the EMC 118999843 use?

The drive is categorized as a SAS-12Gbps SSD, meaning it connects using a 12Gbps Serial Attached SCSI interface. This interface is common in enterprise servers and storage systems and is suitable for environments that already use SAS-12Gbps backplanes, host bus adapters, or RAID controllers for their primary storage infrastructure.

What form factor is the EMC 118999843 SSD?

The SSD uses a 2.5 inch form factor as specified in the category description. This size is widely supported in data center servers and storage arrays, making it straightforward to integrate into existing 2.5 inch drive bays without requiring special adapters or chassis modifications.

What type of workloads is this SSD intended for?

This SSD is listed as a 3.84TB read intensive drive with a 1 DWPD rating. That combination indicates it is optimized for environments where read operations dominate, such as analytics queries, reporting, and reference data. It is less suited to heavy write workloads that would require higher endurance ratings.

What sector format does the EMC 118999843 support?

The category notes that this 3.84TB read intensive SSD uses a 512e format. 512e, or 512 byte emulation, presents 512 byte sectors to the operating system while using larger physical sectors internally. This helps maintain compatibility with many existing operating systems and applications expecting 512 byte sectors.

Is the EMC 118999843 positioned for enterprise deployments?

Yes, the product level is explicitly identified as enterprise. Combined with the SAS-12Gbps interface, 3.84TB capacity, 2.5 inch form factor, read intensive classification, 1 DWPD rating, and 512e format, it is clearly intended for use in data center servers and storage systems rather than consumer or desktop environments.

How does the 1 DWPD rating affect deployment planning?

A 1 DWPD rating means the SSD is intended for scenarios where the total data written per day is roughly equal to the drive’s 3.84TB capacity over its warranted life. In practice, this aligns with read intensive workloads. IT planners should ensure that expected write volumes fit within this profile when selecting this model for specific applications.
