Dell 1.92TB 2.5" SAS 24Gb/s ISE Read Intensive 512e Hot-plug SSD

The Dell 345-BFWQ is a 1.92 TB solid state drive built for PowerEdge servers that need quick, reliable access to large data sets without sacrificing security. By using a SAS 24 Gb/s interface, it delivers transfer speeds of up to 2.4 GB per second, giving analytics dashboards, reporting workloads, and virtual machine libraries the consistent read performance that keeps applications feeling responsive even during peak activity.

This drive carries a read-intensive rating of one drive write per day, which makes it a practical choice for environments that generate many reads but comparatively few writes, such as media streaming, database query nodes, or virtual desktop infrastructure. You get predictable latency and solid throughput while paying only for the endurance the workload actually needs.

Administrators who handle sensitive or regulated data will appreciate the built-in Instant Secure Erase feature. When the time comes to retire or redeploy the drive, you can sanitize it in seconds and keep compliance processes simple. The 512e advanced format further ensures compatibility with modern storage controllers while maximizing usable capacity.

Installation and maintenance are straightforward thanks to the 2.5-inch hot-plug carrier. You can replace or add drives on the fly, reducing planned downtime and allowing systems to stay online during expansion, repair, or routine upgrades.
