DRFKN – Dell 400GB Multi-Level Cell (MLC) SATA 6Gb/s Slim 1.8-Inch Hot-Pluggable Solid State Drive for 13G PowerEdge Servers
The Dell DRFKN 400GB Solid State Drive (SSD) is a compact enterprise storage solution engineered specifically for 13th Generation (13G) Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible Dell enterprise storage systems. Featuring 400GB storage capacity, a SATA 6Gb/s interface, Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash technology, a Slim 1.8-inch form factor, and Hot-Pluggable capability, this enterprise SSD delivers fast data access, ultra-low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for business-critical workloads.
Designed for organizations requiring reliable enterprise storage in compact server environments, the Dell DRFKN is ideal for operating system boot drives, virtualization platforms, enterprise databases, cloud infrastructure, web hosting, software-defined storage (SDS), file servers, and business applications. Its 400GB capacity provides dependable storage for operating systems, enterprise applications, virtual machines, and frequently accessed business data.
The SATA 6Gb/s interface provides reliable high-speed connectivity while ensuring broad compatibility with supported Dell PowerEdge 13G servers. It delivers consistent enterprise performance at an economical cost, making it suitable for a wide range of server workloads.
Built using Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash technology, the drive offers greater endurance, improved write performance, and longer service life than consumer-grade TLC SSDs. MLC technology makes the DRFKN well suited for enterprise environments with balanced read and write activity.
Its Hot-Pluggable (Hot-Swap) design allows administrators to install or replace the drive without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime and supporting continuous business operations.
The Slim 1.8-inch form factor is specifically designed for space-constrained server configurations, enabling higher storage density, improved airflow, and lower power consumption while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.
Unlike conventional hard disk drives, the Dell DRFKN SSD contains no moving parts, delivering significantly higher IOPS, near-instantaneous data access, faster application loading, lower power consumption, reduced heat generation, and silent operation. These benefits improve server responsiveness and overall operational efficiency.
Manufactured according to Dell's rigorous enterprise-quality standards, the DRFKN is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, providing enterprise-class durability, enhanced data integrity, consistent performance, and dependable long-term reliability.
The Dell DRFKN is an excellent solution for organizations seeking 400GB enterprise SSD storage, MLC NAND technology, SATA 6Gb/s connectivity, Hot-Pluggable functionality, and optimized compatibility with Dell PowerEdge 13G server platforms.
