Dell 3.84TB NVMe U.3 PCIe G4 x4 RI SFF 2.5" SED SSD Samsung PM1733a 0RJKM5 RJKM5

The Dell 0RJKM5 (RJKM5) is a high-performance 3.84TB enterprise NVMe solid state drive based on the Samsung PM1733a platform. Designed for read-intensive (RI) workloads, this drive utilizes a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) U.3 connector, which is also backward compatible with U.2 NVMe systems.

Engineered for modern data centers, the drive delivers extremely high throughput and low latency performance, making it ideal for virtualization environments, cloud infrastructure, database workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC). The integrated Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) functionality with 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption provides advanced data protection for enterprise storage deployments.

Key Features

• 3.84TB enterprise NVMe SSD

• PCIe Gen4 x4 interface

• U.3 (SFF-8639) connector compatible with U.2 systems

• 2.5-inch SFF form factor (15mm height)

• Built on Samsung PM1733a enterprise NVMe platform

• Optimized for read-intensive workloads

• Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) with AES-256 hardware encryption

• Designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and enterprise storage systems

Performance Specifications

The Samsung PM1733a platform delivers exceptional performance designed for demanding enterprise applications.

• Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,500 MB/s

• Sequential Write Speed: Up to 4,100 MB/s

• Random Read (4KB): Up to 1,600,000 IOPS

• Random Write (4KB): Up to 170,000 IOPS
