Capacity and form factor
The Dell 345-BECI is a 960 GB enterprise solid-state drive built in a 2.5 inch form factor and shipped inside a 3.5 inch carrier. It connects through a SATA 600 interface and uses a 512e sector format for broad compatibility with legacy and current server platforms.
Integration requirements
The drive fits servers that accept 2.5 inch bays with 3.5 inch carrier adapters, such as the PowerEdge C6420 and M620. A SATA 6 Gb/s backplane or controller is required, and the 512e format works with operating systems that support emulated 512-byte sectors without additional configuration.
Sustained workload behaviour
Rated for mixed-use endurance, the SSD maintains consistent throughput during extended read and write cycles typical of database and virtualization workloads. The SATA interface limits peak bandwidth to 600 MB/s, so performance scales predictably rather than bursting beyond the link capacity.

Questions about this item
What sustained workload limit appears first on this 960GB SATA drive?
The drive is rated for mixed use, so write endurance will be the first limit reached under heavy sustained workloads.
How much heat and power does the 2.5 inch drive produce when running all day in its 3.5 inch carrier?
The SATA 600 interface and mixed-use design keep power draw and heat low enough for standard server cooling without extra airflow.
Which server models must I already own to install this 345-BECI drive?
The drive fits Dell PowerEdge C6420 and M620 systems that accept 2.5 inch drives in a 3.5 inch carrier.
