Dell 1.92TB 2.5-inch SAS 12Gbps SSD — 2WVYG

Here is a 1.92TB SSD for 2.5-inch SAS bays, identified by Dell part number 2WVYG, made for Dell by Toshiba, maker model KPM5XVUG1T92. It connects at 12Gbps.

Dell part numbers identify the exact revision, which matters more than the description when several look-alike parts exist. As a Dell-labelled drive it carries Dell firmware, matching what PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays are set up to use. Dell-labelled drives are intended for PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays with 2.5-inch SAS bays. In an existing array, keep new disks at the same capacity, speed and interface as their neighbours. A SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller is required; older 6Gbps SAS controllers run it at their own, lower link rate. Its mixed use rating points it at workloads with a mix of reads and writes. Flash drives like this suit boot volumes, virtual machine datastores and database logs, where access time matters more than raw capacity. Arrays recover fastest when a matching spare is ready to go in as soon as a drive fails. Check 2WVYG against the service configuration of your Dell system before ordering.

It is supplied certified refurbished: inspected, bench-tested and data-wiped in Johannesburg before release.
