A drive needs the tray or caddy that matches the server generation to sit in a hot-plug bay. In a hot-plug bay with a redundant RAID level, a failed disk can usually be swapped while the server keeps running. Once a replacement is fitted, the RAID controller rebuilds the array onto it, and larger drives take longer to rebuild. Arrays recover fastest when a matching spare is ready to go in as soon as a drive fails. Flash drives like this suit boot volumes, virtual machine datastores and database logs, where access time matters more than raw capacity. It is meant for PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays with 2.5-inch SAS bays. Solid-state drives wear with writes, so match the endurance class to the workload: read-heavy volumes suit read-intensive drives, busy databases suit mixed-use ones. Matching the Dell part number 3MWNR against your system's parts list is the surest way to confirm the drive fits.

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