Dell Enterprise 3.84TB 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s Read Intensive

The Dell N85XX is a 3.84TB SAS solid state drive that brings reliable read focused storage to Dell 14G PowerEdge servers. Built on BiCS TLC NAND flash and connected through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, it delivers the low latency and consistent throughput that data heavy applications depend on.

This drive arrives in a 2.5 inch form factor pre-mounted in a 3.5 inch hot plug tray, so it slides directly into front accessible bays without downtime. The 512e advanced sector format helps the controller move data efficiently, conserving CPU cycles and improving overall system responsiveness.

Administrators running virtual desktop pools, business intelligence dashboards, or web front ends will appreciate a storage option optimized for frequent reads and lighter write activity. Because it is qualified for high availability environments, it fits naturally into clustered or redundant arrays where predictable performance is more important than extreme write endurance.

Dell has validated the N85XX for several platforms, including the PowerEdge R630, R730, R730xd, T440, and T640 servers, as well as the PowerVault ME4012 storage array. Using original Dell firmware ensures seamless integration with OpenManage and keeps support agreements intact.

Highlights:

• 3.84TB capacity designed for read intensive workloads
• SAS 12Gb/s interface for high throughput and low latency
• 512e advanced format promotes efficient data management
• 2.5 inch drive supplied in a 3.5 inch hot plug carrier for tool less installation
• Validated for Dell PowerEdge R630, R730, R730xd, T440, T640 and PowerVault ME4012
