Dell 400-AESK 480GB read intensive SATA 6Gb/s MLC 2.5-inch hot-pluggable enterprise solid state drive delivers reliable high-speed storage for Dell 13G PowerEdge servers and read-focused workloads.

Dell 400-AESK 480GB Read Intensive SATA 6Gb/s Multi-Level Cell (MLC) 2.5-Inch Hot-Pluggable Solid State Drive for 13G PowerEdge Server

The Dell 400-AESK 480GB Solid State Drive is a high-performance enterprise storage solution specifically designed for Dell 13th Generation (13G) PowerEdge servers and read-intensive business workloads. Built with advanced Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash technology and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, this SSD delivers fast read performance, low latency, and reliable operation for enterprise applications that require high-speed data access.

With a 480GB storage capacity, the drive is ideal for web hosting environments, content delivery systems, virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructures, operating systems, and read-focused enterprise applications. Compared to traditional hard drives, solid-state technology significantly improves application responsiveness, accelerates system performance, lowers power consumption, and enhances durability through its no-moving-parts architecture.

The read-intensive SSD design is optimized for workloads with a higher ratio of read operations compared to write operations, providing cost-effective high-speed enterprise storage performance. The hot-pluggable capability allows administrators to replace or upgrade the drive without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency.

Its compact 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) design supports dense server deployments while maximizing airflow efficiency and optimizing rack space utilization in enterprise data centers. Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, the Dell 400-AESK SSD delivers enterprise-class stability, endurance, and dependable storage performance.
