Description
Hot Plug Capability
The 96KT6 Dell 960GB SATA 6Gbps Mix Use TLC 512e Hot Plug Solid State Drive features hot plug capability, which means it can be added to or removed from a system without shutting down or restarting the system. This allows for easy installation and replacement of the drive without disrupting system operation or data access.
Hot plug capability is particularly useful in environments where system uptime is critical, such as enterprise data centers, where downtime can result in lost productivity and revenue. By allowing drives to be added or removed without interrupting system operation, hot plug capability can help to minimize downtime and improve system availability.
In addition to its hot plug capability, the 96KT6 Dell SSD also features a 960GB capacity and a 6Gbps SATA interface, providing fast data transfer speeds between the drive and the host system. It uses Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND Flash memory, which provides a balance of performance, endurance, and cost-effectiveness for mixed-use workloads.
Compatibility and Installation
The 96KT6 Dell 960GB SATA 6Gbps Mix Use TLC 512e Hot Plug Solid State Drive is compatible with a wide range of systems that support 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. It is designed to be installed in systems that have an available drive bay and support SATA or SAS interfaces.
The installation process for the 96KT6 Dell SSD is straightforward and similar to that of a standard 2.5-inch hard drive. To install the drive, follow these general steps:
- Power down the system and unplug all cables.
- Locate the drive bay where the SSD will be installed and remove any existing drive if necessary.
- Insert the SSD into the drive bay, ensuring that it is properly aligned with the connectors.
- Secure the SSD to the drive bay using the appropriate screws or fasteners.
- Connect the SATA or SAS interface cable to the SSD and to the system’s motherboard or RAID controller.
- Power on the system and ensure that the drive is recognized by the system’s BIOS or RAID controller.
It is important to note that some systems may require additional configuration or firmware updates to fully support the 96KT6 Dell SSD. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the system’s user manual or contact the manufacturer’s support team for specific installation instructions and compatibility information.
Performance and Speeds
The 96KT6 Dell 960GB SATA 6Gbps Mix Use TLC 512e Hot Plug Solid State Drive offers high performance and fast data transfer speeds. With a 6Gbps SATA interface and a large 960GB capacity, this SSD can deliver impressive read and write speeds, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
According to Dell, the 96KT6 SSD can achieve sequential read speeds of up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and sequential write speeds of up to 485 MB/s. Random read and write speeds are also impressive, with up to 98,000 and 28,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS), respectively.
These speeds are made possible in part by the use of Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND Flash memory, which offers a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness for mixed-use workloads. The drive also uses a 512e (512-byte emulation) format, which allows for compatibility with systems that require a block size of 512 bytes.
