About the Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN840 1.6TB U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 Mixed-Use SSD
The Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN840 1.6TB U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 Mixed-Use SSD delivers enterprise-grade performance in a U.2 form factor built for dense server backplane integration. This PCIe Gen 3 interface drive combines high sequential throughput with deep queue depth architecture, purpose-built for mixed workload environments where sustained performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
Western Digital engineered the Ultrastar DC SN840 for data centre operations demanding consistent, predictable I/O across variable workloads. The 1.6TB capacity provides substantial per-drive storage density while enterprise-class endurance ratings ensure durability under continuous operational stress. Integrated power loss protection via PLP capacitors safeguards data integrity during unexpected power events—a critical requirement in mission-critical infrastructure. Storage architects and IT procurement teams selecting drives for virtualisation, database, and transactional workloads will find this Western Digital offering purpose-built for production deployment. For detailed specifications and integration support, contact Omnixon Global via RFQ.
Mixed-Use Enterprise Applications
- Virtualisation platforms requiring consistent mixed read/write performance across multiple virtual machines

Frequently Asked Questions about Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN840 1.6TB U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 Mixed-Use SSD
What workloads is the Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN840 1.6TB U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 Mixed-Use SSD designed for?
Enterprise mixed-use and Mixed-Use workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.
Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?
Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.
Do you provide support support locally?
Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.
How do I get a quote for a bulk order?
Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
