Dell 120GB M.2 SATA 6Gbps SSD — GKJ0P

Here is a 120GB SSD for M.2 SATA bays, identified by Dell part number GKJ0P and built on a Intel SSD, maker model SSDSCKJB120GB. It connects at 6Gbps.

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 M.2 SATA bays. Replacement drives should match the array they join in capacity, speed and interface. Most server RAID controllers accept SATA drives, as do plain SATA ports. Flash endurance is finite, so pick the drive class by write load: read-mostly volumes and write-heavy databases call for different ratings. A SATA SSD is a straightforward upgrade for boot volumes, virtual machine storage and read-heavy databases. Keeping a spare drive per array shortens the time an array runs degraded after a failure. Check GKJ0P against the service configuration of your Dell system before ordering.

This certified refurbished drive has been inspected and bench-tested in Johannesburg, with any stored data wiped.
