Upgrade your Dell server or storage array with a high-capacity, enterprise-grade 960 GB solid state drive designed for Read Intensive workloads. This 2.5-inch internal SSD uses a vSAS (12Gb/s SAS) interface to deliver fast, reliable data access for demanding applications. Optimized for read-heavy operations—such as database query caching, virtualization platforms, and high-traffic file serving—the Dell 960 GB SSD blends dense storage with dependable performance. Built to meet the rigors of data-center environments, it pairs Dell’s engineering quality with a compact form factor, helping you consolidate storage, accelerate workloads, and simplify deployment in Dell-powered infrastructures.

  • The Dell 960 GB SSD offers substantial capacity in a compact 2.5" form factor, allowing data centers to maximize storage density in standard enterprise chassis. With up to 960 GB of flash memory, you can host large datasets, virtual machine images, and frequently accessed data in a single drive, reducing the need for multiple spindles and easing storage management. The 2.5" internal design is widely supported in Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays, enabling straightforward hot-swaps and easy integration into existing Dell ecosystems. This drives improved IOPS for read-heavy applications while maintaining an efficient footprint within rack environments. The drive is engineered to deliver consistent read performance under sustained workloads, helping reduce latency and improve application responsiveness across multi-tenant workloads, databases, and cached data workloads.
  • Designed for Read Intensive workloads, this SSD prioritizes rapid data retrieval over raw write throughput. It excels in environments where reads dominate I/O operations—think of large-scale database lookups, indexes, content delivery caches, and virtual desktop infrastructures where quick access to frequently accessed data accelerates user experience. The Read Intensive profile minimizes latency, supports fast cold-start times for applications, and can significantly decrease I/O wait times during peak usage. With the SAS interface’s reliability and compatibility in Dell systems, you gain predictable performance characteristics essential for service-level agreements and steady throughput during business-critical tasks.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability is a core attribute of this Dell SSD. Built to withstand the rigors of data-center operation, it integrates with Dell’s hardware ecosystem for consistent compatibility and smooth management. The drive’s solid-state architecture reduces mechanical wear, offers silent operation, and achieves lower power consumption relative to traditional HDDs, contributing to cooler data centers and lower energy costs. In Dell deployments, this translates into long-term maintenance advantages, straightforward firmware updates, and simpler drive lifecycle management, helping you reduce maintenance windows and keep workloads online with fewer interruptions.
  • Seamless integration and deployment are supported by Dell’s ecosystem. The 960 GB vSAS SSD slots into standard 2.5-inch bays and works with Dell RAID controllers and storage subsystems that support SAS connections. Its Dell branding and enterprise-grade firmware ensure compatibility with Dell management tools and monitoring solutions, enabling administrators to track health, performance, and endurance through familiar interfaces. This streamline means faster provisioning, easier disk replacement, and more predictable behavior in mission-critical environments where uptime and consistent I/O performance matter most.
  • Energy efficiency and quiet operation are inherent advantages of enterprise SSDs. By replacing legacy mechanical drives with solid-state storage, you gain substantial improvements in read latency, access times, and power usage. Fewer moving parts translate to lower failure rates and greater reliability under continuous workloads. For data centers managing power budgets or seeking quieter environments, the Dell 960 GB SSD provides a compelling combination of capacity, performance, and energy efficiency that supports modern consolidation strategies, virtualized workloads, and tiered storage architectures.

How to install Dell 960 GB Solid State Drive

  • Power down the server or storage appliance and disconnect it from any power source. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge and prepare your maintenance workspace. Remove the chassis cover to access the drive bays, following your system’s service manual. Confirm that you have a compatible 2.5-inch SAS drive bay and the appropriate cables for SAS data and power connections.
  • Slide the Dell 960 GB SSD into an available 2.5-inch drive slot, aligning the connector edge with the backplane or SAS controller interface. Secure the drive with the mounting screws or tool-less retention hardware used by your chassis, ensuring the drive sits flush and stable to avoid vibration or misalignment during operation.
  • Connect the SAS data cable and the power adapter to the drive. Verify that the cabling is secure and that the backplane or controller recognizes the drive. If necessary, route cables to avoid obstructing fans or other components to maintain optimal airflow within the enclosure.
  • Power on the server and access the system BIOS or RAID controller utility. Confirm that the new SSD is detected as a storage device and configured according to your deployment plan. If you are creating a new RAID array, follow the controller’s prompts to add the 960 GB SSD as a member and choose the appropriate RAID level and stripe size for your workload. If you are using a non-RAID configuration or a simple pass-through, ensure the drive is initialized and formatted in the operating system after the initial boot.
  • In the operating system, format and partition the drive as needed for your workload. For database caches, virtualization storage, or file servers, align partitions correctly for best performance and consider enabling TRIM support where supported by the controller and OS. If you are migrating data from a previous drive, plan the data transfer carefully to minimize downtime, and run integrity checks after the migration to ensure data consistency.

Gorgeous 😍
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne, Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne
Absolutely beautiful!!! It is thick and luxurious, super soft and cozy. It’s really high quality and it shows. You can tell it’s natural without the burn test even from its cute little curls. All brushed (your pet brush is perfect 😉) out it looks stunning and fluffy. I got the champagne color and I love it! I don’t see any seams on the double pelt and it is substantial, not at all like it will disintegrate in a few years, but rather will become a much loved family heirloom. Well worth the investment! It is absolutely heavenly to perform yoga on by the fire 😌I love taking my slippers off and feeling the soft fur. I don’t want to get off it lol. I understand all those other customer’s kids and cats 🤣😂🤣

This is the one you want...

I bought a ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ from Amazon in 2011 for $112.49, and recently decided to recommission it in my new living room. It looked so nice that I decided to add a second rug, and was pleased to find what Amazon claimed to be the same rug still available for only $83.78. Now I’m not one of those silly folks who expects the color and/or size of a natural product like a sheepskin rug to be perfectly predictable, and my living room is large enough that I didn’t need the two rugs to match perfectly, but when the new rug arrived, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was about 40% smaller than my older rug, was way, way off from anything that could be called white, and looked cheap, old, and tattered. I tried to comb it out a bit to see if I could make it look presentable, but it was a lost cause. Amazon to the rescue. I returned the rug to Amazon for a full refund the next morning, and the transaction couldn’t have been simpler. And I immediately ordered the ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ shown on this page from Super Area Rugs for $119.00. What a difference! These rugs are large, plush, and super soft. The quality of these rugs is obvious, much, much nicer that either my old sheepskin rug or the ‘bargain’ rug I returned to Amazon. I was so impressed with the quality of this rug that I immediately ordered a second, which arrived this morning (it matches the other rug perfectly). My older sheepskin has been reassigned to another room because, well, it’s not in the same league as my two new rugs, which look terrific together. As is so often the case, you get what you pay for. So if you’re looking for a top quality sheepskin rug, this is the one you want.

Very nice fleeces
This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!

After speaking over the phone with the seller, I was confident in this purchase for my SPD son. They do not use harsh chemicals or dyes in the process. It is from New Zealand and the only use in Vietnam is for shipping. My son hasn't been diagnosed yet for Autism but he is in the process. He is super sensitive to all things sensory and Amazon feedback isn't the place to give specific details on his condition but I will write that when he fist touched it- which was willingly- he smiled and asked to sleep on it. When he laid down on it and I covered him- he was calm and smiling. In the pic I provided he is calm and holding his door (his obsession is doors and windows). He even set his door down to hold the fur. For other mommies and papas with spd/autistic kids you know that willingly touching a new fabric and setting down an obsessive item is huge and super encouraging! I am so grateful to have such a quality item that is affordable for my special needs son. His older sister received one as well as is now pretending to be a sheep. Fun for everyone! The ONLY negative is that the brand/info sticker on the pelt was a pain to get off and pulled some of the felt - not damaging it but blemishing the unity -but if the skin is down it will not be noticeable. A super fun detail is that all of the fur is combed out but there were a few strands that were wavy and had a slight curl- I LOVED that. There was no odor at all which is great! I expected an animal smell which is better than chlorine or dioxin which is what competitors use in their process. There is no noticeable seam in the middle on the top where the two pelts are gathered. I am soooo satisfied!
