DELL 960GB SATA 2.5 5400 Pro R0P7D

SKU CH-8HT0-VY1QB

960 GB SATA enterprise SSD for read-intensive workloads in 2.5-inch Dell PowerEdge servers

  • Interface typeSATA
  • 960 GB capacity for read-intensive server workloads
  • SATA 6 Gbps interface for broad PowerEdge compatibility
  • 5 inch 7 mm form factor fits hot-plug bays
  • TLC NAND optimised for endurance in read-heavy applications
  • Tested with updated firmware for reliable deployment

Dell 960GB SATA 5400 Pro SSD

This enterprise solid-state drive delivers 960GB of storage over a SATA 6Gbps interface in a 7mm 2.5-inch form factor. It uses read-intensive TLC NAND and is validated for Dell PowerEdge servers including the R640, R740, R740xd and R750 series. The drive suits mixed-use workloads that demand consistent read performance and high endurance.

Tested firmware and read-intensive design

Every unit ships with updated firmware and has passed component-level testing before dispatch. The read-intensive TLC architecture optimises the drive for workloads such as boot, logging and content delivery where write cycles are lower. This focus extends usable life in read-heavy deployments compared with mixed-use alternatives.

960GB capacity for read-heavy server roles

The 960GB capacity provides ample headroom for operating systems, hypervisors and cached data sets in compatible PowerEdge platforms from the R240 through the R960 and XR families. Write-heavy databases or sustained sequential ingest will exceed the endurance envelope of this read-intensive model.

Questions about this item

Will the TLC NAND in this 960 GB drive wear out and need replacement under read-intensive use?

The 5400 Pro is built for read-intensive workloads; its TLC NAND and controller are rated for the endurance profile of that class, so replacement is only expected after the drive exceeds its rated write cycles.

What sustained throughput limit appears first when the 6 Gbps SATA link is saturated all day?

The SATA 6 Gbps interface caps sequential transfers at the bus ceiling, so the interface bandwidth becomes the bottleneck before the internal NAND or controller limits are reached.

How much heat and power does the 7 mm 2.5 inch form factor produce when running continuously in a PowerEdge server?

The slim 7 mm 2.5 inch design draws only the power the SATA bus supplies and generates low heat, allowing standard server airflow to keep temperatures in spec during 24/7 operation.
