Dell 480 GB SAS SSD for read-intensive workloads

This enterprise solid-state drive delivers 480 GB of capacity over a SAS 12 Gb/s interface in a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built with MLC flash and rated for read-intensive duty, making it suited to database caching, virtualization hosts and boot volumes in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers.

Capacity and headroom for read-heavy datasets

At 480 GB the drive holds operating-system images, hypervisor installs and hot metadata tiers with room for growth. The read-intensive endurance rating means sustained random reads are the sweet spot; heavy, sustained write workloads such as transaction logs or video ingest will exhaust the write budget faster than mixed-use or write-intensive alternatives.

2.5-inch SAS connector for hot-plug server bays

The standard 2.5-inch SAS connector slides into hot-plug backplanes on the listed PowerEdge platforms from the R240 through the R960 and C-series chassis. No caddy or adapter is mentioned in the data, so integrators should verify the carrier requirement for their specific chassis before installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS interface on this 2.5" drive negotiate down to 6Gb/s on a Dell R640 backplane?

Yes, the SAS interface is backward compatible and will link at 6Gb/s when installed in a 6Gb/s backplane such as the one in the R640.

How can I confirm the 480GB drive is recognised at full 12Gb/s link speed after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or iDRAC storage view; it will show the negotiated link rate as 12Gb/s for this SSD.

Does the package include a Dell 2.5" hot-plug carrier or must I order one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit; a Dell hot-plug carrier for your server model must be purchased separately.
