Manufacturer-identified specifications

Product / MPNSolidigm D7-P5520 3.84 TB U.2 (SSDPF2KX038T1OS) — SSDPF2KX038T1OS (confirm OEM-qualified suffix from drive label)
Capacity / form factor3.84 TB; 2.5-inch U.2, 15 mm enterprise drive.
Interface / lane widthPCIe 4.0 x4.
ProtocolNVMe 1.4.
Rated performance / enduranceUp to 7,100 MB/s sequential read and 4,200 MB/s sequential write for the 3.84 TB U.2 class. Capacity-specific endurance is not repeated here because OEM/order-code suffix and SKU datasheet line must be checked against the installed unit.
Heatsink / revision caveat15 mm U.2 enterprise enclosure, requiring a qualified NVMe backplane/carrier and server airflow; not for SATA/SAS-only 2.5-inch bays. Solidigm D7-P5520 is a data-center family; the product brief distinguishes capacities and form factors, while server OEM suffixes can indicate firmware/security qualification. Check the full printed label and system vendor compatibility list.

Compatibility, installation & service

  • Confirm the server/backplane routes PCIe x4 NVMe and supports this 15 mm U.2 model, carrier, firmware and boot configuration. Do not rely on a SATA/SAS connector lookalike. Follow hot-swap protocol only if supported by the platform/controller/OS; unmount or quiesce data first. Record SMART/NVMe health, serial and firmware, back up and follow array rebuild procedure.
  • Solidigm D7-P5520 is a data-center family; the product brief distinguishes capacities and form factors, while server OEM suffixes can indicate firmware/security qualification. Check the full printed label and system vendor compatibility list.
  • Confirm host boot mode, OS NVMe support, CPU lane generation, socket length/keying, power and controller/backplane qualification from the system manual; physical fit alone does not establish compatibility.
  • Before drive replacement, check backup integrity, encryption keys, firmware settings, recovery media and array rebuild plans. Use electrostatic-discharge precautions and never hot-remove unless the host documentation explicitly supports it.
