New Enterprise 960GB SAS SSD 12Gb/s

New enterprise 960GB SAS SSD, a 2.5-inch flash drive that drops into the SAS bays of Dell PowerEdge 13th through 16th gen and HPE ProLiant Gen9 to Gen10 Plus servers. SAS SSDs are the enterprise flash tier for SAS backplanes: they use the same PERC, Smart Array and HBA controllers and the same bays as SAS hard drives, with the full-duplex SAS link and its error handling. They are the straightforward flash upgrade for an existing SAS array.

Specifications

Compatibility

A 2.5-inch SAS SSD fits any SAS-capable 2.5-inch bay on a PERC, Smart Array or HBA, the same bays and controllers as SAS hard drives; a SATA-only port or an NVMe-only bay will not run it. It links at 12 Gb/s on 12 Gb/s controllers and negotiates down on older SAS hardware. In a 3.5-inch bay it needs a 2.5-to-3.5 adapter carrier. Dell 13th gen trays differ from 14th to 16th gen trays, HPE uses its own carriers, and we match the tray to your chassis. Browse matching parts for the Dell PowerEdge R640.

When to Choose This

Use the 960GB for VM datastores and application volumes on an existing SAS array. A SATA SSD such as the Intel S4520 960GB costs less and also runs on SAS controllers, but the SAS SSD keeps the full-duplex link and fits a SAS-only design. Endurance and performance vary by lot and are not rated here. New means unused with full service life ahead; pick the refurbished 960GB when cost decides.
