What are the key specifications of the EMC 5054008 SSD?

The EMC 5054008 is a 3.84TB SAS 12Gbps 2.5-inch internal solid state drive with 1x SAS 12Gb/s interface. Designed as read-intensive for enterprise use, it fits SFF trays in Dell EMC Unity XT and SC Series enclosures, delivering 520 IOPS for high-density storage up to 24 drives per 2U shelf with 368.64TB max raw capacity.

Which EMC storage systems support the 5054008 drive?

Supports Dell EMC Unity XT arrays and SC Series like SCv3000, SCv3200, SC7020, SC5020 with 2.5-inch slots. Compatible with 12Gb SAS enclosures; runs at 6Gb on legacy SC8000/SC4020. Enables intermixing with HDDs in 2U form factors for hybrid tiering.

What performance does the 3.84TB SSD provide in real workloads?

Read-intensive rating suits databases and virtualization with 520 baseline IOPS over SAS 12Gbps. In SC Series shelves, supports wire-speed access across 24 SSDs, ideal for low-latency east-west traffic in SAN fabrics handling OLTP or VDI deployments.

Is the 5054008 suitable for high-density storage expansion?

Yes, fits 2U enclosures with 24x 2.5-inch bays reaching 92.16TB SSD-only or 368.64TB mixed. ReadyRails II rack mounting and cable management tray enable scalable data center builds without performance bottlenecks.

What differentiates this SSD from standard consumer drives?

Enterprise SAS 12Gbps interface, 3.84TB density, and tray carrier ensure hot-swap reliability in production arrays. Read-intensive endurance outlasts consumer SSDs in 24/7 operations, with EMC validation for Unity/SC interoperability.

Can it intermix with other drive types in EMC enclosures?

Yes, SC Series supports intermixing SSDs like 5054008 with 7.2K/10K HDDs in same shelf. Max 24x 2.5-inch drives per 2U, preserving bandwidth across SAS domains for tiered storage optimization.
