DELL YKPNV PM5-R 1.92 TB 2.5" SAS Internal Solid State Drive

SKU CH-FJQ9-FY718

A 1.92 TB 2.5" SAS solid-state drive built for read-intensive workloads with 12 Gb/s transfer speed and 512e format

  • Large 1.92 TB capacity stores extensive datasets
  • 12 Gb/s SAS interface enables rapid data throughput
  • Solid-state design resists shock for dependable operation
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • 512e sector format ensures broad system compatibility

Dell PM5-R 1.92 TB SAS SSD

The Dell PM5-R is a 1.92 TB solid-state drive built for read-intensive workloads in Dell systems. It uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and a 2.5 inch hot-plug form factor with 512e sector formatting. The non-mechanical NAND design provides durability and quiet operation compared to traditional spinning disks.

Suited for read-heavy Dell arrays.

This drive suits administrators expanding storage in compatible Dell servers or arrays where read performance and endurance are priorities. The read-intensive rating means it is not appropriate for workloads dominated by sustained random writes such as heavy database logging or high-throughput video ingest. Buyers needing higher write endurance should consider drives specified for mixed-use or write-intensive operation.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface combined with 2.5 inch hot-plug mechanics. The host system must provide a SAS backplane or controller that supports 12 Gb/s signalling and the correct drive bay format. Without that interface match the drive will not install or operate at its rated transfer speed.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS figure mean for real-world throughput?

The 12 Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum interface bandwidth, so actual read speeds will be limited by the drive's internal NAND and controller rather than the bus.

How does the SAS 12 Gb/s interface cap performance in practice?

The SAS 12 Gb/s interface provides up to 12 Gb/s of bus bandwidth, which is the ceiling for sustained transfers; the drive's read-intensive firmware and 512e sector format operate within that limit.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5 inch hot-plug drive require?

The drive uses a standard 2.5 inch form factor with a hot-plug carrier, so it fits any 2.5 inch SAS bay that supports hot-swap insertion.
