DELL 6N7KY 960GB SAS 12/24Gbps RI TLC 2.5 enterprise SSD

SKU CH-KD1W-WQ43Z

A 960 GB enterprise SSD with a 12/24 Gbps SAS interface for read-intensive workloads in 2.5 inch bays

  • InterfaceSAS
  • 960 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • SAS 12/24 Gbps interface delivers high throughput
  • Read-intensive TLC suits read-heavy workloads
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard bays
  • Compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers

Capacity and audience

The Dell 6N7KY is a 960GB SAS enterprise SSD built for read-intensive workloads in Dell PowerEdge servers and ME-series storage arrays. It fits 2.5-inch drive bays and connects through 12Gbps or 24Gbps SAS links.

Sustained load behaviour

The drive uses TLC NAND rated for read-intensive endurance, so it maintains steady throughput during long sequential reads and mixed OLTP patterns without the write-performance drops seen on mixed-use media. Firmware is updated before shipment to match Dell-qualified release levels.

Thermals noise and power

As a solid-state device with no moving parts it produces negligible acoustic noise and operates within standard 2.5-inch enterprise power envelopes. The SAS interface supports dual-port connectivity for multipath I/O and hot-plug service in compatible PowerEdge and ME chassis.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 960GB SAS 12/24Gbps RI TLC 2.5 enterprise SSD generate under continuous all-day operation?

The drive is a read-intensive TLC SSD designed for enterprise workloads; its power draw and thermal output scale with the SAS 12/24Gbps interface activity, and Dell validates it inside PowerEdge servers with standard airflow.

What host hardware must I already have to install the 6N7KY 960GB SAS 12/24Gbps RI TLC 2.5 enterprise SSD?

You need a server or storage array with a 2.5-inch SAS drive bay and a controller that supports 12Gbps or 24Gbps SAS signalling, such as the Dell PowerEdge models listed in the compatibility list.

Will the 6N7KY 960GB SAS 12/24Gbps RI TLC 2.5 enterprise SSD work alongside older 12Gbps SAS drives in the same PowerEdge R740?

Yes, the SSD negotiates at 12Gbps or 24Gbps on the SAS bus, so it can share a backplane with existing 12Gbps SAS HDDs or SSDs while the controller manages each device at its rated speed.
