What does DWPD mean for enterprise SSDs?

DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) indicates how many times you can write the entire drive capacity per day over its warranty period. A 1 DWPD 1.92TB SSD can write 1.92TB daily for 5 years. Read-intensive workloads need 1 DWPD; write-intensive need 3-10 DWPD.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about buying enterprise server parts from ICD.

NVMe connects directly to the PCIe bus, delivering the highest performance (600K-1M+ IOPS). SAS uses a 12Gbps interface with dual-port redundancy, ideal for enterprise storage arrays. SATA runs at 6Gbps and offers the lowest cost per GB. NVMe requires compatible backplanes and controllers; SAS and SATA work with traditional RAID controllers.

DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) measures endurance — how many times the drive's full capacity can be written per day over its warranty period. Read-Intensive drives offer 0.3-1 DWPD for read-heavy workloads. Mixed-Use drives offer 1-3 DWPD for balanced workloads. Write-Intensive drives offer 3-10 DWPD for databases and logging.

Dell, HPE, and Lenovo source SSDs from Samsung, Micron, Intel, and Kioxia, then apply custom firmware and labeling. OEM-branded drives may include server-specific firmware features. Generic enterprise SSDs from the same manufacturer work in most servers but may trigger compatibility warnings in management tools.

Yes, many modern servers support mixed NVMe and SAS configurations with the right backplane. Dell R750/R760, HPE DL380 Gen10/Gen11, and Lenovo SR650 V2/V3 all support universal drive bays that accept both NVMe and SAS/SATA drives.

Yes, hot-swap enterprise SSDs must be installed in the correct drive caddy (tray) for your server model. Dell, HPE, and Lenovo use different caddy designs. We supply caddies for all major server platforms — contact us if you need one with your drive.

Source Enterprise SSDs Worldwide

ICD supplies over 10,000 enterprise solid state drives spanning NVMe, SAS, and SATA interfaces in capacities from 240GB to 15.36TB. We supply both OEM-branded SSDs from Dell, HPE, and Lenovo, and enterprise-grade drives from Samsung, Intel, Micron, and Kioxia. Every drive is tested and health-verified before shipping.

Choosing the Right Enterprise SSD

Select your SSD based on three factors: interface (NVMe for maximum performance, SAS for dual-port redundancy, SATA for cost efficiency), endurance (Read-Intensive for databases and VMs, Mixed-Use for general workloads, Write-Intensive for logging and caching), and capacity. Our team can recommend the optimal drive for your server model and workload profile.

U.2 NVMe SSDs — 2.5-inch PCIe drives for servers

A U.2 SSD is a 2.5-inch (SFF-8639) NVMe drive that plugs into a server's hot-swap NVMe bay over PCIe x4, so it can be replaced from the front of the chassis without opening the server — the form factor Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem AnyBay, Supermicro and Cisco UCS use for front-bay NVMe. Unlike M.2 drives (boot media, not hot-pluggable) or SAS SSDs (12Gbps), U.2 drives run at PCIe 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 speeds in the same 2.5-inch tray.

U.2 capacity	Typical use	Examples in the ICD catalogue
960GB	Boot, OS and light VM stores	Kioxia CD5 960GB, WD Ultrastar DC SN640 960GB, Kingston DC1500M 960GB
1.92TB	Databases, virtualisation	Dell 0HVC7 1.92TB Gen4, Seagate Nytro 5350H 1.92TB, Lenovo CD8P 1.92TB Gen5
3.84TB	Analytics, large datasets	Samsung PM9A3 3.84TB (Supermicro), Samsung PM1753 3.84TB Gen5, Seagate Nytro 5350H 3.84TB
7.68TB	Capacity per slot, AI data lakes	Samsung PM1733 7.68TB, Dell 84DJ2 7.68TB Gen4, Cisco NVME4-7680-D (Intel P5520)
15.36TB	Maximum density	Samsung PM1753 15.36TB Gen5, Lenovo CD8P 15.36TB Gen5, Seagate Nytro 5350H 15.36TB

Also listed: 800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB, 6.4TB and 12.8TB mixed-use U.2 drives and 30.72TB read-intensive models. Every U.2 drive is quoted per order with the condition tier and lead time stated — send the part number or the server model and bay type (U.2 Gen3/Gen4/Gen5) and ICD confirms the fit before quoting.
