DELL 400-AMJE 800 GB 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s enterprise SSD

Dell 800 GB SAS enterprise SSD

This 2.5-inch solid-state drive adds 800 GB of high-speed storage to compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface for fast data transfer and is designed for hot-swap installation in supported bays. The drive targets IT teams expanding capacity in R630, R730, R730XD or T630 platforms. It ships as a bare drive without a caddy or mounting hardware.

Bare-drive packaging changes deployment

The unit arrives without a carrier, so a compatible hot-swap tray must be sourced separately for the target chassis. No management software, firmware media or licensing keys are included in the package. Installation relies on the server's native SAS backplane and RAID controller for configuration and monitoring. This approach suits administrators who already maintain spare trays in their environment.

800 GB capacity suits mixed read-write workloads

The drive handles operating-system volumes, database logs and virtual-machine images that fit within its 800 GB limit. Write-heavy tasks such as continuous ingest or large-scale scratch space will exhaust the available space more quickly. Workloads demanding multi-terabyte datasets or archival retention need higher-capacity alternatives. The SAS 12Gb/s link provides consistent throughput for the supported server models.
