D2N1D

D2N1D – Dell 1.92TB SAS Read Intensive (RI) 12Gb/s 512e Hot-Pluggable Solid State Drive

The Dell D2N1D 1.92TB Solid State Drive (SSD) is a high-capacity enterprise storage solution engineered for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible Dell enterprise storage systems. Featuring 1.92TB storage capacity, a 12Gb/s SAS interface, Read Intensive (RI) endurance, 512e (512-byte Emulation) sector format, hot-pluggable functionality, and a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), this enterprise SSD delivers exceptional read performance, low latency, and enterprise-class reliability for modern data center environments.

Designed for organizations with predominantly read-focused workloads, the Dell D2N1D is ideal for virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructure, web hosting, enterprise databases, file servers, content delivery networks, business applications, software-defined storage (SDS), and analytics platforms. Its 1.92TB capacity provides ample storage for virtual machines, operating systems, frequently accessed applications, and large enterprise datasets.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-grade bandwidth, advanced error correction, and dual-port capability (where supported), delivering superior reliability, higher throughput, and lower latency compared to SATA-based SSDs. The Read Intensive (RI) design is optimized for applications with significantly more read operations than write operations, making it an ideal solution for enterprise environments that prioritize fast data retrieval and cost-efficient flash storage.

Supporting the 512e (512-byte Emulation) sector format, the drive offers excellent compatibility with legacy operating systems, storage controllers, and enterprise applications while benefiting from the efficiency of modern storage technologies.

Unlike conventional hard disk drives, the Dell D2N1D SSD contains no moving parts, providing significantly higher IOPS, near-instantaneous data access, faster boot times, lower power consumption, reduced heat generation, and silent operation. These advantages improve application responsiveness while reducing operational costs in enterprise data centers.

Its 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) design enables greater storage density and improved airflow in rack-mounted servers. The drive supports hot-pluggable functionality, allowing administrators to replace or install drives without shutting down the server, minimizing maintenance downtime and ensuring continuous business operations.

Manufactured according to Dell's rigorous enterprise-quality standards, the D2N1D is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, delivering enterprise-class durability, enhanced data integrity, consistent performance, and long-term reliability for mission-critical workloads.

The Dell D2N1D is particularly well suited for organizations seeking 1.92TB enterprise SSD storage, SAS 12Gb/s connectivity, Read Intensive endurance, 512e compatibility, hot-pluggable capability, and optimized compatibility with Dell PowerEdge server platforms.
