Dell 960GB SAS 12G SSD for G13 servers
This Dell solid-state drive delivers 960GB of capacity over a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It is built for read-intensive workloads on compatible G13 PowerEdge servers. The drive ships new with a matched Dell caddy for direct installation.
Thermals and power in normal use
As a solid-state device with no moving parts, the drive runs silently and generates minimal heat compared with mechanical disks. Power draw stays low during typical read-intensive operations, reducing the thermal load on server chassis fans. The 2.5-inch form factor allows dense packing without blocking airflow to other components.
Build integration and system fit
The included caddy fits the drive bays of listed PowerEdge models from the 240 through 960 series, including XD, XS and XA variants. A SAS 12Gb/s backplane or controller is required to utilise the full interface speed. The drive frees a 3.5-inch bay for alternative storage or cooling options.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2.5" SAS 12G SSD into a Dell R740 server, and what step is often missed?
Slide the drive into the supplied Dell caddy until the connector seats firmly, then lock the caddy handle; the step often missed is not pushing the caddy latch fully closed so the drive stays loose in the bay.
What maintenance or replacement will the 960GB RI SSD need during its service life?
The read-intensive SSD has no moving parts to service; plan to replace the drive once its write endurance is exhausted or when the server's storage controller reports a predictive failure alert.
What limit appears first on the SAS 12Gb/s RI SSD under sustained write workloads?
The drive's write endurance rating for read-intensive use is reached before thermal throttling or the SAS 12Gb/s interface bandwidth becomes a bottleneck.
