960 GB enterprise SAS SSD with 12/24 Gbps interface and FIPS encryption for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • InterfaceSAS
  • 960 GB capacity for data-intensive workloads
  • 12/24 Gbps SAS interface for high-throughput servers
  • Mixed-use TLC endurance balances read and write performance
  • Hardware encryption with FIPS validation protects sensitive data
  • Compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers

What this drive is

This is a new Dell enterprise SSD with a 960 GB capacity and a dual-speed SAS interface rated at 12 Gbps and 24 Gbps. It uses TLC flash configured for mixed-use workloads and includes hardware encryption with FIPS certification. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays in Dell PowerEdge servers.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

It suits administrators expanding or repairing Dell PowerEdge systems listed in the compatibility matrix, including R640, R740, R750 and MX740C models. The mixed-use endurance profile supports both read-heavy and write-heavy applications. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-encrypted drive should look elsewhere.

The deciding specification

The SAS 12 Gbps / 24 Gbps interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive will operate in your server. Only platforms with a compatible SAS backplane and controller can use the drive.

Questions about this item

What server backplane or controller must already be present to use the 12/24Gbps SAS interface on this 960GB drive?

A SAS backplane or controller that supports 12Gbps or 24Gbps SAS signalling is required; the drive connects through a standard 2.5-inch SAS slot.

Will this SSD operate in a Dell PowerEdge R740 that currently runs older 6Gbps SAS drives?

Yes, the drive is backward-compatible with 6Gbps SAS backplanes and will run at the lower speed while sharing the same chassis.

How can I confirm the FIPS-certified self-encrypting function is active after installation?

Use the controller management utility or Dell OpenManage to verify the encryption status shows enabled and the FIPS mode indicator is present.
