Reduce TCO for your Mainstream and Read-Intensive Workloads
Data is growing at a rapid pace, testing the limits of data centers and storage scalability. Modern, data-intensive workloads and use cases such as AI, ML, content-delivery networks (CDNs), object-based storage, and data analytics require massive amounts of data to be stored efficiently and accessed at speed. These requirements have historically been viewed as a tradeoff between performance and capacity: select SSDs when an application demands performance and choose HDDs when an application prioritizes capacity.
For many mainstream and read-intensive workloads, the Solidigm™ D5-P5430—with its blend of hyper-dense, affordable storage and high throughput—renders that tradeoff moot. The D5-P5430 delivers TLC-like read performance with massive lifetime writes, on QLC economics, leading to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved sustainability of data center and edge infrastructures. Available in a broad range of form factors and capacities up to 30.72 TB, the D5-P5430 can be deployed in a wide array of 1U and 2U configurations.
Efficiently scale capacity and performance
Mainstream workloads and use cases such as general purpose servers, object-based storage, and online analytical processing tend to cluster in the high-read, low-write mix ratio (e.g., 80/20), and because the mix of writes is relatively low, drives with sufficient petabytes written (PBW) can service these workloads. Read-intensive workloads such as CDNs, data pipelines, VoD services, and large, sequential databases cluster in the mostly-read-with-occasional-writes ratio (e.g., 90/10 or higher), and, like their mainstream counterparts, value high throughput.
Engineered to deliver TLC-equivalent read performance and massive petabytes written, the D5-P5430 supports both mainstream and read-intensive workloads by providing unique density, efficiency, and serviceability advantages without sacrificing performance.
When compared to widely adopted PCIe TLC SSDs, the D5-P5430 can support up to 4x more capacity in the same space [1] while delivering equivalent read performance and up to 14% higher lifetime writes.
Sustainability as a by-product of TCO not only benefits bottom-lines, but it also addresses concerns on the minds of consumers, regulators, and communities. It is estimated that data centers are on a trajectory to consume 3 to 13% of global power by 2030, and with 85 to 90% of data center storage still on hard disk drives, high density NAND SSDs present a meaningful sustainability opportunity. [10,11]
The higher capacity of the D5-P5430 coupled with effective performance can deliver up to 5x higher density storage, 4.3x lower 5-year energy consumption, and 3.8x fewer drives to disposition at end-of-life compared to a hybrid array. [12]
Bottom line, the D5-P5430 delivers more sustainable storage, versus lower-density, less efficient storage.
Deploy with confidence in an array of configurations
Building on the Solidigm product line of D5 Series SSDs, the D5-P5430 offers a class-leading range of form factors (U.2, E3.S, E1.S) and capacities (3.84 TB to 30.72 TB), enabling a broad range of configurations. [13] For those looking to preserve chassis infrastructure but achieve better density, the D5-P5430 is available in U.2. However, some customers may want to realize even more benefits from the D5-P5430 and move away from the limitations imposed by legacy form factors by transitioning to EDSFF SSDs.
Adapting SSD form factors that evolved outside data centers presents limitations. For instance, U.2 was inspired by HDDs and M.2 had its beginnings in notebook PCs before they were adapted to data center use. EDSFF marked the first time a storage form factor was built from the ground-up for NAND and optimized to address key data center storage challenges and needs, such as serviceability, cooling, space efficiency, signal integrity, and scalability. The transition from legacy to EDSFF is well underway, with estimates that almost half of PB shipped into the data center will be EDSFF by 2026. [14]
The D5-P5430 comes in both E3.S and E1.S form factors. The E3.S form factor is targeted to displace U.2 drives in 2U density-optimized servers for higher power and performance, as well as increased flexibility to mix devices. E1.S has advantages over U.2 and M.2 in 1U performance-optimized servers for its ability to pack more IOPS in the same space and thermal efficiency to either run faster processors or decrease cooling cost.
The D5-P5430 also offers new feature sets that are essential to building modern data centers, such as Secure boot, Opal (data at rest security), FIPS 130-2 Level 2, industry-leading data reliability, and zero SDC errors detected in over 6 million years of simulated operational life. [15,16] That means you can deploy with confidence, knowing that the D5-P5430 is validated and tested beyond industry standards and common practices, with data integrity built in. [17]
