Solidigm D7-P5520 7.68 TB No Opal Solid State Drive

Key Features of the Solidigm – D7-P5520 7.68 TB No Opal

PCIe 4.0 Performance for Data Center Workloads

The Solidigm – D7-P5520 7.68 TB is a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe solid state drive built for enterprise, data center and cloud servers. It delivers up to 7,100 MB/s sequential read and 4,200 MB/s sequential write, with up to 1.1 million random read IOPS and 220,000 random write IOPS (4K blocks).

That performance makes it a strong fit for AI/ML pipelines, databases, eCommerce and general-purpose cloud servers, where fast random reads and steady sequential writes keep applications responsive.

Low Latency, Consistent Performance

The D7-P5520 is designed for mixed and mainstream workloads that need low latency. Typical latency is 10 μs for sequential reads and 13 μs for sequential writes, with 75 μs random read and 15 μs random write latency.

Solidigm rates the D7 Series for up to 90% IOPS consistency and under 0.3% performance variability throughout the life of the drive, so performance stays predictable as the drive fills and ages.

High Capacity in a Standard U.2 Form Factor

This model provides 7.68 TB of 144-layer TLC 3D NAND in a 2.5-inch U.2 15mm form factor, making it compatible with the U.2 NVMe drive bays found in 1U and 2U compute and storage servers.

It is rated for 14.0 PB written over its life (about one full drive write per day over five years) and 2 million hours MTBF, giving it the endurance needed for read-heavy and mixed enterprise use.

Enterprise Features, No Opal Configuration

The D7-P5520 includes enterprise NVMe features such as PCIe VDM support, variable sector sizes, scatter gather with dataset management, advanced telemetry logs, dynamic namespaces and device self-test. Solidigm validates the D7 Series with power-loss (PLI) testing for real-world conditions.

This is the Generic No Opal version (ordering code SSDPF2KX076T11Z). It is the right choice when TCG Opal self-encrypting drive management isn’t required. If you need Opal or FIPS 140-3 security, ask us about the Opal (SSDPF2KX076T1OZ) or FIPS (SSDPF2KX076T1GF) versions of the same drive.
