Dell 800GB SAS Enterprise SSD

This new Dell enterprise SSD provides 800 GB of storage over a 12 Gbps SAS interface. It uses mixed-use TLC NAND and a 2.5 inch form factor. The drive carries model numbers GW8T1 and MZILT800HBHQAD3 and is based on the PM1645a platform. Firmware is updated and components are tested.

Suits Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays

The drive is compatible with a wide range of PowerEdge rack, tower and modular servers including R630, R640, R650, R730, R740, R750, T330, T440, MX740c and MX840c models. It also fits MD1400, MD1420, ME4012 and ME4024 storage enclosures. It is not for systems that require a different physical interface or form factor.

12 Gbps SAS interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 Gbps SAS connection. The server or storage chassis must provide a SAS backplane or controller that supports this speed and the 2.5 inch drive bay. Without a compatible SAS host the drive cannot operate.

Questions about this item

What does 800GB of mixed-use capacity mean for a database server?

The 800GB mixed-use drive balances read and write endurance, so it handles transactional databases and logging workloads without wearing out as fast as read-optimised media.

What does the 12Gbps SAS interface limit in a live chassis?

The 12Gbps SAS link caps sequential throughput at the interface rate, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that bandwidth even if the flash is faster.

Will the 2.5-inch form factor fit a Dell PowerEdge R740 front bay?

Yes, the 2.5-inch SAS SSD mounts directly in the R740 2.5-inch drive bays and is listed as compatible with that server model.
