Description
The SOLIDIGM D7-P5620 6.40 TB SSD is engineered for modern data centers and demanding enterprise workloads. Built on PCIe 4.0 and optimized for real-world performance, this 2.5" U.2 drive delivers reliable, high-throughput storage for read-intensive and mixed-use environments. Whether you’re accelerating databases, boosting virtualization density, or powering caching and data-tiering strategies, the D7-P5620 blends capacity, reliability, and efficiency into a single, scalable solution. Formerly part of Intel’s lineup, SOLIDIGM’s D7 series represents the industry’s most advanced PCIe 4.0 portfolio, designed to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise environments while simplifying deployment in standard server and storage platforms with U.2 backplanes.
- Industry-leading PCIe 4.0 performance for real-world workloads: The D7-P5620 is tuned to deliver exceptional throughput and IOPS under typical enterprise workloads. In practice, these capabilities translate to faster data access, quicker query responses, and smoother performance during peak activity, all while maintaining consistent latency levels important for mission-critical applications.
- Massive capacity to consolidate storage and reduce sprawl: With a spacious 6.40 TB capacity, this SSD enables dense storage configurations, large-scale databases, and virtualization hosts to store more data in fewer devices. The result is lower total cost of ownership, simplified management, and improved data locality for frequently accessed datasets—leading to faster analytics and better overall system responsiveness.
- 2.5" U.2 form factor for seamless enterprise integration: The internal U.2 (SFF-8639) 2.5" footprint fits a wide range of servers, backplanes, and storage arrays designed for NVMe over PCIe. Its hot-swappable capability in compatible chassis minimizes downtime during maintenance and upgrades, while its standardized interface lets admins upgrade or replace drives without changing existing infrastructure.
- Read-intensive and mixed-use endurance for varied workloads: Optimized for sustained reads with mixed workloads, the D7-P5620 offers balanced performance for caching, data-tiering, analytical workloads, and virtualization environments. This makes it ideal for workloads that demand fast, predictable access to hot data while still accommodating write activity and occasional bursts well.
- Reliability, data integrity, and energy efficiency in enterprise environments: Built with enterprise-grade protections and a focus on data integrity, the drive emphasizes robust error correction, end-to-end protection, and power-loss safeguards. A thoughtful balance of thermal design and efficient power management helps maintain steady performance in dense data centers and in environments with variable cooling conditions.

How to install SOLIDIGM D7-P5620
- Power down the server or workstation and unplug from power. Open the chassis and locate an available U.2 drive bay or backplane compatible with PCIe NVMe 4.0 x4.
- Verify that the system supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe and that the drive bay or backplane is designed for a 2.5" U.2 SSD. Confirm any firmware prerequisites in the server documentation.
- Insert the D7-P5620 firmly into the U.2 slot, ensuring proper alignment with the connector. Secure the drive with mounting screws or the chassis’ standard drive retention method.
- Reconnect data and power cables, or seat the drive into a backplane if your system uses a backplane architecture. Route cables to prevent airflow obstruction and overheating.
- Power on the system, access the BIOS/UEFI if needed, and confirm that the NVMe device is detected. Update to the latest firmware if updates are available to maximize compatibility and performance.
- In the operating system, initialize the new SSD, create volumes, and format with the required file system. For enterprise deployments, configure appropriate storage policies, RAID or caching settings, and monitoring tools to optimize reliability and throughput.
