Dell 480GB M.2 NVMe SSD — 7KGMT

This is a 480GB M.2 NVMe SSD, sold under Dell part number 7KGMT (Hynix manufactured), maker model HFS480GDC8X096N.

Check that the server has NVMe-wired bays, or an adapter card, before fitting. When replacing a failed disk, match the capacity, speed and interface of the drives already in the array. A drive needs the tray or caddy that matches the server generation to sit in a hot-plug bay. Arrays recover fastest when a matching spare is ready to go in as soon as a drive fails. Dell-labelled drives carry Dell firmware, which is what PowerEdge RAID controllers expect to see. It is meant for PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays with M.2 NVMe bays. Dell part numbers identify the exact revision, which matters more than the description when several look-alike parts exist. NVMe drives connect over PCIe for low latency, which suits databases, caching tiers and busy virtual machines. Matching the Dell part number 7KGMT against your system's parts list is the surest way to confirm the drive fits.

Condition is certified refurbished, and each drive is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.
