What this drive is

This Dell enterprise SSD delivers 7.68TB of capacity through a 12Gbps SAS interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It uses TLC NAND with read-intensive endurance and includes hardware-based encryption via SED technology.

Who it suits

The drive fits Dell PowerEdge servers from the 11th through 16th generation families listed in the compatibility data. Buyers who need a different interface protocol or higher write endurance than read-intensive ratings provide should consider other drive classes.

Deciding specification

The 12Gbps SAS interface determines whether this SSD matches the server backplane and controller in use. Verify that the target system supports SAS connectivity at this speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 7.68TB SAS drive draw during continuous 12Gbps operation?

The 7.68TB SAS SSD is built for read-intensive workloads and fits standard 2.5-inch bays, so power draw stays within typical enterprise limits for all-day use in compatible PowerEdge servers.

Which drive carrier or backplane do I need to install this 2.5-inch SAS SSD in my PowerEdge?

This 2.5-inch SAS SSD uses the standard Dell drive carrier for the listed PowerEdge models; the server chassis and backplane must accept 2.5-inch SAS drives.

Will the 12Gbps SAS interface negotiate down to 6Gbps if I keep an older PERC controller?

The SAS interface supports 12Gbps speeds and will negotiate to the controller's maximum rate, so it works with older 6Gbps PERC cards in the compatible PowerEdge servers listed.
