Dell 5KW0F 7.68 TB SAS SSD

The Dell 5KW0F is a 7.68 TB enterprise solid-state drive using a 12 Gbps SAS interface and 2.5 inch form factor. It is built for read-intensive workloads on compatible PowerEdge servers.

Check server SAS backplane and drive bay

Verify the server has 2.5 inch drive bays wired for 12 Gbps SAS and that the backplane supports SED encryption management. Confirm the firmware revision matches the system requirements before installation.

Suits read-heavy arrays on listed PowerEdge models

This drive fits read-intensive arrays on the listed PowerEdge platforms. It is not for write-heavy logging or caching tiers needing higher endurance, nor for systems lacking SAS backplanes or 2.5 inch bays.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell 5KW0F 7.68TB SAS SSD ship with a drive tray or caddy, or must that be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5-inch unit; a Dell hot-plug carrier or tray for the target PowerEdge server must be sourced separately.

Which workload profile matches the read-intensive design of this 7.68TB SAS drive?

Choose this model for workloads dominated by reads — such as web serving, content delivery, or read-heavy databases — where write endurance is less critical.

What does the 12Gbps SAS interface deliver when the drive is installed in a compatible PowerEdge server?

The 12Gbps SAS link provides the full controller bandwidth for sequential read throughput, while the read-optimised TLC NAND sustains high random-read IOPS for typical enterprise read-intensive workloads.
