• NAND Type: 🧩 Samsung V-NAND 2-bit MLC

• Sequential Read: 🚀 Up to 510 MB/s

• Sequential Write: ✍️ Up to 485 MB/s

• Random Read/Write: ⚡ 97,000 / 12,000 IOPS

• Endurance Class: 🛡️ Mixed-Use (MU) / VMware Class A (>=365 TBW)

• Form Factor: 📏 2.5-inch SFF

✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited, secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards, and verified for 100% health.

• Mixed-Use Endurance: Unlike "Read Intensive" drives, the 28F3R is built for applications that require a steady mix of reading and writing, such as database logging, web serving, and email servers.

• Samsung PM863a Architecture: Known for its reliability, this drive includes advanced features like End-to-End Data Protection and Power Loss Protection (PLP) to ensure data isn't corrupted during sudden power outages.

• Consistent Performance: Designed to minimize performance fluctuations, providing the steady IOPS required for virtualized environments (vSAN, ESXi).

• Dell Certified Firmware: Pre-loaded with genuine Dell-certified firmware, ensuring full compatibility with PowerEdge RAID controllers (PERC) and seamless monitoring via OpenManage.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Primary Target: Optimized for Dell PowerEdge 13th and 14th Generation servers (e.g., R630, R730, R640, R740).

• System Support: Compatible with PowerVault storage arrays (ME4/ME5 series) and Precision workstations.

• Note on Fit: This is a standard 7mm/9.5mm height SSD that fits in all standard 2.5-inch hot-plug trays (e.g., DXD9H or G176J).
