Dell 3WVT4 Drive Overview
Increase the storage capacity of your Dell™ System with 1.6TB Solid State Drive from Dell. It boasts a storage capacity of up to 1.6TB, enabling users to store large amounts of data. This drive delivers enhanced data transfer speed of up to 12Gbps.
- Offers up to 1.6TB storage capacity
- Equipped with SAS interface which delivers high data transfer rate
- Solid State design offers ruggedness and fast data access
Benefits of SSD over spin drives:
- More Durable: Feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted on circuit boards and are more shock resistant.
- Faster: Faster data access, boot ups, file transfers, and an overall quicker computing experience than hard drives.
- Quieter: Run at near silent operation unlike loud, whirring hard disc drives.
- Lighter: Flash-based SSDs weigh considerably less.
- Cooler: SSDs require little power to operate, resulting in less heat output by your system.
- More Efficient: Consume less power at peak load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the storage specifications of the Dell 3WVT4 drive?
The Dell 3WVT4 is a 1.60 TB solid state drive with a 2.5" form factor designed for internal server and storage system use. It features SAS (12Gb/s) connectivity, supports 3 DWPD (drive writes per day), and offers 8760 TB TBW (terabytes written) for reliable mixed-use performance. The drive uses 512e format and is both hot-swappable and hot-pluggable for seamless integration into enterprise environments.
Is the Dell 3WVT4 drive compatible with my server infrastructure?
The Dell 3WVT4 is engineered for storage systems and server devices that support SAS (12Gb/s) connectivity with a 2.5" drive bay. We recommend verifying your server's SAS interface compatibility and consulting with our team to ensure proper integration with your specific infrastructure. Contact us today to confirm compatibility with your existing system configuration.
What makes the Dell 3WVT4 suitable for enterprise data centers?
The Dell 3WVT4 is optimized for mixed-use enterprise applications with robust durability metrics including 3 DWPD and 8760 TB TBW, ensuring reliable performance under demanding workloads. Its hot-swappable design enables non-disruptive drive replacement, minimizing downtime in production environments. The 512e format provides compatibility with modern storage systems while maintaining performance standards required for data center operations.
Can the Dell 3WVT4 drive be replaced without powering down the system?
Yes, the Dell 3WVT4 features both hot-swappable and hot-pluggable design, allowing you to replace the drive without shutting down your system or interrupting operations. This capability is essential for maintaining continuous uptime in mission-critical server and storage environments. We offer the Dell 3WVT4 with full technical support to ensure smooth hot-swap procedures.
What is the difference between DWPD and TBW ratings on the Dell 3WVT4?
The Dell 3WVT4's 3 DWPD (drive writes per day) rating indicates you can write the drive's entire 1.60 TB capacity three times daily for its warranty period, while the 8760 TB TBW (terabytes written) represents the total write capacity before potential wear-out occurs. Together, these metrics define the drive's endurance and help you plan replacement cycles for enterprise deployments. Available from us with full technical documentation to support your capacity planning.
What connectivity options does the Dell 3WVT4 provide?
The Dell 3WVT4 uses SAS (12Gb/s) connectivity, the industry standard for enterprise server and storage system integration, delivering high-speed data transfer and reliability. The 2.5" form factor with 512e format ensures broad compatibility with modern data center infrastructure.
