T36Y2 Dell 15.36TB SAS Enterprise Read Intensive 16Gbps (512e) U.2 Gen4 NVMe 2.5-inch SSD

T36Y2 Overview

The Dell T36Y2 is a high-capacity, next-generation enterprise SSD engineered for large-scale read-intensive workloads. Although labeled with SAS-style terminology, this model is actually a U.2 Gen4 NVMe SSD, offering dramatically higher throughput and lower latency compared to traditional SAS drives. It delivers exceptional read performance, making it ideal for analytics-heavy, virtualized, and cloud-scale environments.With a massive 15.36TB capacity, it supports large datasets, high-density storage pools, and read-optimized applications such as content delivery, AI inference data staging, log processing, and scale-out architectures. As a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe drive, it provides multiple times the bandwidth of 12Gbps SAS while maintaining enterprise-grade endurance, power-loss protection, and full data-path integrity.
