Dell 960GB M.2 NVMe SSD — PH7J6

Here is a 960GB NVMe SSD for M.2 bays, identified by Dell part number PH7J6, maker model MTFDKBA960TFR.

Dell-labelled drives are intended for PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays with M.2 NVMe bays. Hot-plug bays take the drive in a tray or caddy matched to the server generation. In an existing array, keep new disks at the same capacity, speed and interface as their neighbours. The host needs NVMe-capable bays or a suitable adapter. With NVMe, storage traffic runs over PCIe rather than a disk controller, which is why it suits latency-sensitive databases and caches. Dell part numbers identify the exact revision, which matters more than the description when several look-alike parts exist. Check PH7J6 against the service configuration of your Dell system before ordering.

Sold as certified refurbished, the drive passes inspection and a bench test, and has its storage wiped, in Johannesburg before release.
