Dell 480 GB SATA enterprise SSD
This 480 GB SATA solid-state drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that need reliable mixed-use storage. It fits 2.5-inch, 7 mm bays and connects through the standard 6 Gbps SATA interface. System administrators upgrading or replacing drives in supported rack, tower and modular chassis will find it a direct match.
480 GB capacity with mixed-use endurance
The drive delivers 480 GB of usable space for databases, virtual machines and logging workloads that read and write steadily. TLC NAND rated for mixed use provides consistent throughput until the rated write endurance is reached, after which the drive enters read-only mode to protect data.
Tested firmware and Dell part-number alignment
Each unit ships with updated firmware and carries the Dell 3KVC5 part number, so it appears in inventory and management tools without extra qualification steps. No additional cables, brackets or software licences are included in the package.

Questions about this item
Will this 480 GB SATA SSD work in a PowerEdge R730 alongside older mechanical drives?
Yes, the SM883 uses a standard 2.5-inch 7 mm SATA form factor and 6 Gbps interface, so it installs in the same drive bays as legacy HDDs in R730 and other listed PowerEdge servers.
How can I verify the SM883 is operating correctly after installation?
Check the server BIOS or iDRAC for drive detection at 6 Gbps SATA speed, confirm 480 GB capacity appears, and run Dell's built-in diagnostics to validate firmware and media health.
Does the package include a drive tray or caddy for the PowerEdge R740, or must I order one separately?
The drive ships as a bare 2.5-inch 7 mm SSD; Dell PowerEdge hot-plug trays or caddies are not included and must be sourced separately for your specific chassis.
