  • 960 GB capacity stores large workloads

  • Dell CUS kit simplifies integration into compatible servers

Dell 960 GB SATA SSD for hot-plug bays

This Dell solid-state drive provides 960 GB of storage in a 2.5-inch form factor designed for hot-plug drive bays. It uses a SATA interface with 512E sector emulation and is sold as a CUS kit. The unit is new and packing may vary between retail and OEM.

512E sector format matches legacy systems

The single specification that decides fit is the 512E sector format, which lets the drive appear as a 512-byte sector device to older controllers and operating systems. Without 512E the drive would not be recognised by many legacy RAID cards or BIOS revisions. Buyers who need native 4Kn sectors cannot use this drive.

Hot-plug tray eases installation

The drive ships in a hot-plug carrier so it slides into a compatible bay without tools or cable routing. Installation fails when the backplane or controller does not support SATA hot-plug signalling or when the firmware expects 4Kn geometry. Verify the server or storage array accepts 512E SATA SSDs before fitting.
