Dell 02WVYG 1.92TB Mixed Use SAS SSD (KPM5XVUG1T92) for PowerEdge Servers & ME5024/ME5224

The 02WVYG 1.92TB is a Dell-qualified mixed-use SAS SSD (Kioxia KPM5XVUG1T92) for PowerEdge servers and PowerVault ME5024 / ME5224 storage arrays. Where a read-intensive drive is tuned for workloads that mostly read, and a write-intensive drive costs considerably more per gigabyte, a mixed-use SSD sits in the middle — and that middle covers most real production workloads.

Key Specifications

Mixed-Use: The Right Compromise for Real Workloads

SSD endurance is usually expressed as drive writes per day (DWPD) over the warranty period. Read-intensive drives assume you rarely overwrite data; write-intensive drives assume you hammer them continuously and charge accordingly. A mixed-use drive is rated for a meaningfully higher daily write volume than a read-intensive model while staying far cheaper than a write-intensive one — which is why it suits databases, virtual machines, and general server workloads that write constantly but not pathologically.

Put simply: if your array hosts VMs, database files, or logs, mixed-use is usually the safer default. If it only serves static content, a read-intensive drive will do the job for less.

Dell-Qualified for PowerEdge Servers

The 02WVYG is a genuine Dell part, so the controller recognizes it at POST, iDRAC reports accurate health and wear data, and firmware updates apply normally. That matters more with SSDs than with HDDs: an unsupported drive can report incorrect wear levels, trip predictive-failure alarms, or refuse to join a supported configuration — none of which you want discovered during an outage.

For PowerVault ME5024 and ME5224 Arrays

As an array drive, the 1.92TB capacity hits a useful middle point: enough room per slot to build a sensible RAID set without over-buying flash. It installs in the standard 2.5-inch carrier and supports hot-swap replacement, so capacity expansion or a failed-drive swap does not require taking the array offline.

Ideal Applications

• Virtual machine datastores and VDI hosts

• Database and ERP volumes with steady write traffic

• Email, log, and application server tiers

• All-flash or hybrid pools in ME5024 / ME5224 arrays
