960 GB SAS enterprise SSD

This 960 GB enterprise solid-state drive uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface and mixed-use TLC flash with hardware encryption and 512e sector emulation. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that require reliable, high-capacity storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. The drive ships new with updated firmware and tested components.

12 Gbps SAS interface limits

The SAS link tops out at 12 Gbps, so throughput cannot exceed what that bus provides regardless of the flash speed. Mixed-use TLC endurance is lower than write-intensive alternatives, making the drive unsuitable for workloads dominated by sustained heavy writes. The 2.5 inch form factor fits only bays designed for that size.

960 GB capacity headroom

At 960 GB the drive comfortably holds operating systems, hypervisors, databases and mixed application data with room for growth. It runs out when workloads demand multiple terabytes of active data or when write intensity consistently exceeds the mixed-use rating. Buyers who need more storage or higher write endurance must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 960GB model or a different capacity for my Dell PowerEdge R750?

The 960GB capacity suits mixed-use workloads such as virtualization and databases where read and write balance is needed. Larger or smaller drives exist in the same family but are separate part numbers.

What does the 12Gbps SAS rating deliver in a live server?

It provides up to 12Gbps throughput per lane when the backplane and controller both support 12Gbps SAS. Actual speed depends on the specific controller and cable quality.

How does the SAS interface limit performance in a 2.5 inch bay?

The drive uses a 12Gbps SAS connection which is the maximum for this interface generation. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard hot-plug bays in compatible PowerEdge servers.
