Dell 800GB SAS enterprise drive
This Dell PX05SMB080Y is an 800GB SAS solid-state drive built for 2.5-inch server bays. It targets administrators who need write-intensive MLC storage inside compatible Dell PowerEdge systems. The drive uses a 12Gbps SAS interface and supports hot-swap installation. It is not intended for desktop or laptop use.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
Enterprise SSDs of this class run silently because they have no moving parts. Heat output stays low enough for standard server airflow without extra cooling. Power draw scales with the 12Gbps SAS link and the write-intensive workload profile. No acoustic or thermal figures beyond these general characteristics are supplied.
Replaces earlier SAS SSDs or mechanical drives
This drive upgrades from lower-capacity SAS SSDs or 2.5-inch hard drives in write-heavy applications. The jump is worth it when you need 800GB of MLC endurance at 12Gbps speeds in a hot-swap tray. Buyers who need a different interface, larger capacities, or consumer-form-factor drives cannot use this product.

Questions about this item
How is the 2.5 SFF SAS drive installed in a Dell PowerEdge server and which step is often missed?
Slide the drive into the hot-swap bay until the SAS connector seats firmly, then lock the carrier latch; the step often missed is confirming the tray sticker matches the server slot before powering on.
What maintenance or replacement will the 800GB MLC SAS SSD need during its service life?
The drive has no user-serviceable parts; replacement is only required when the media reaches its rated write endurance or if a SMART attribute signals imminent failure.
What limit appears first when the 12Gbps SAS SSD runs sustained write workloads?
The MLC NAND write endurance threshold is reached before the 12Gbps SAS link saturates, so sustained heavy writes will hit the media wear limit first.
