Capacity and interface
The Dell D480G-CD1 is a 7.68 TB enterprise solid-state drive with a 12 Gbps SAS connection. It uses TLC flash and is rated for read-intensive workloads. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard hot-swap bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers.
Compatibility checklist
Verify that your server backplane and RAID controller support 12 Gbps SAS and the physical 2.5 inch tray. Confirm the specific PowerEdge model appears in the published compatibility list before ordering. Ensure the firmware version matches your platform requirements for SED functionality.
Sustained workload behaviour
Designed for read-intensive duty, the drive maintains consistent throughput during extended sequential reads typical of content delivery or analytics. TLC endurance is managed by the controller to avoid performance drops under continuous operation. Self-encrypting capability adds no measurable latency to sustained data streams.

Questions about this item
What is included with the D480G-CD1 7.68TB SAS SSD and what must be purchased separately?
The drive ships as a bare 2.5-inch SAS SSD. A compatible hot-plug carrier or backplane for your Dell PowerEdge server must be sourced separately if not already installed.
Which version of the 7.68TB SAS drive should I select for read-intensive workloads on a supported PowerEdge server?
Choose the D480G-CD1 model with RI TLC SED firmware; it is validated for read-intensive use across the listed PowerEdge platforms from R230 through R960 and MX series.
What does the 12Gbps SAS interface deliver when the drive is installed in a compatible Dell PowerEdge system?
The 12Gbps SAS link provides full-duplex bandwidth to the controller, allowing the 7.68TB RI TLC SED drive to sustain read-intensive throughput without interface bottleneck.
