Description

Solidigm SSD D5 P5316 Series — 15.3TB EDSFF L 9.5mm PCIe 4.0 x4, 3D4, QLC

Introducing the Solidigm SSD D5 P5316 Series, a cloud-inspired, storage-optimized enterprise NVMe solution designed to meet the escalating demands of modern data centers. Built around the industry’s first 144-layer QLC NAND and PCIe 4.0, this drive delivers exceptional capacity, efficiency, and reliability for large-scale warm storage workloads. The D5-P5316 is positioned to help cloud providers, hyperscalers, and enterprise IT teams lower total cost of ownership while accelerating access to data that matters most. As data volumes continue to grow, storage density and cost-per-gigabyte become critical considerations. The D5 P5316 delivers a compelling mix of massive capacity, streamlined deployment, and sustained read performance that makes it a strong candidate for hot-warm data tiers, archival strategies, and analytics-driven workflows. Its dense EDSFF L 9.5mm form factor enables significant rack-space optimization, while the PCIe 4.0 interface ensures ample bandwidth for read-heavy workloads. In short, Solidigm’s D5 P5316 combines density, efficiency, and reliability to support scalable data infrastructure with lower cooling and power costs—perfect for data centers pursuing cloud-like agility and cost discipline.

  • High-density capacity in a dense form factor: 15.3 TB per drive packed into an EDSFF L 9.5mm enclosure, enabling unprecedented rack-level storage density and streamlined fleet planning for large-scale deployments.
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 performance for read-heavy workloads: Delivers robust bandwidth and low latency suited for warm storage, analytics caches, backup repositories, and rapid data retrieval across sprawling data ecosystems.
  • 144-layer QLC NAND (3D4) for cost-efficient scalability: Industry-leading density enables lower cost per gigabyte while maintaining strong data integrity and performance characteristics essential for scale-out architectures.
  • Read-optimized design for data-rich environments: Engineered to accelerate access to frequently accessed data, metadata stores, and large content repositories, helping to reduce bottlenecks in data lakes and cloud storage tiers.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability for data centers and cloud environments: Built to support large fleets with consistent performance, scalable deployment, and simplified lifecycle management to help lower operational overhead and TCO.

How to install Solidigm SSD D5 P5316 Series

  • Ensure your server, storage chassis, or backplane supports EDSFF L 9.5mm drives and PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interfaces.
  • Power down the host system, unplug from power, and ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge.
  • Open the chassis or server enclosure, locate the appropriate EDSFF slot, and insert the D5 P5316 drive until it seats securely.
  • Reconnect any backplane connectors, power, and data cables as required, then power on the system and enter BIOS/UEFI to verify the device is detected.
  • Boot into the operating system and initialize the drive: create a namespace or volume, format with the desired filesystem, and apply any vendor firmware updates if available.
  • Verify cooling and airflow around the drive, monitor health and SMART attributes, and integrate the drive into your storage pools or tiered architecture as part of standard deployment practices.
