Description
More Information
Dell GXGHV 7.68TB SAS 12Gbps Read Intensive TLC (triple-level cell) Hot-Plug solid-state drive (SSD) is a high-performance storage device optimized for read-heavy workloads and designed for hot-plugging.
The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface allows for faster data transfer rates compared to SATA and supports data transfer rate of 12Gbps, allowing for faster data transfer and higher throughput. The SAS interface also supports a higher number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) which makes it suitable for enterprise-level storage systems and high-performance computing applications.
The drive is designed for read-intensive workloads, which means it is optimized for read operations, it generally has higher read speeds and lower write speeds than a drive that is optimized for write operations. This makes it well-suited for use-cases such as databases, analytics, and reporting tasks that require fast access to large amounts of data.
TLC (triple-level cell) refers to the type of NAND flash memory used in the device, which has a higher storage density but a lower endurance compared to MLC (multi-level cell) or SLC (single-level cell) NAND.
The hot-plug feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without the need to shut down the system. This feature allows the drive to be replaced or upgraded while the system is running. This makes it easier to swap out a drive that is failing or to upgrade to a larger drive without any interruption in service.
This is a specific product line offered by Dell, this series are designed to provide high performance and endurance for read-intensive workloads. These drives are built to provide high reliability, performance, and durability for different workloads, such as databases, analytics, and virtualization.
Device Compatibility
Compatibility of a Dell 7.68TB SAS SSD (Solid State Drive) will depend on the specific Dell server or storage system it is intended to be used with. Dell servers and storage systems have their own specific compatibility requirements for storage devices, and may only support certain types of interfaces, such as SAS, or have specific form factor requirements.
It is recommended to check the compatibility of the drive with the specific Dell system or device you plan to use it with in order to ensure proper functioning and to avoid any possible issues. The Dell website and technical documentation can be a good resource to consult for compatibility information and any additional requirements. Additionally, you can contact Dell Technical Support to confirm compatibility.
It’s important to check the specifications of the Dell system you plan to use the drive with and to confirm that it has the necessary number of SAS ports available and can accommodate the drive physically. For example, a SAS drive must be connected to a SAS controller and the controller must be in a slot that can accommodate the drive physically, so ensure that the controller is compatible and that the storage bay is of the right size.
In summary, a Dell 7.68TB SAS SSD can be a reliable and high-performance storage solution, but it’s important to check compatibility with the specific Dell system or device you plan to use it with to ensure proper functioning and to avoid any possible issues.
Backup & Restore Facility
Backing up and restoring data on a Dell 7.68 terabyte SAS 12 gigabits per second (GBPS) read intensive SSD is similar to the process of backing up and restoring data on any other storage device.
Some common methods to backup data on a Dell 7.68TB SAS 12GBPS Read Intensive SSD include:
- Creating image-based backups using software like Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost
- Using built-in backup software provided by the operating system, such as Windows Backup or Time Machine on macOS
- Using cloud-based backup solutions like Backblaze or Carbonite
When restoring data, you can usually use the same software you used to create the backup to restore it. Alternatively, you can use built-in recovery tools or a bootable recovery disc to restore the backup.
As the drive is read-intensive, you may want to optimize your backup strategy to take into account the specific needs of the workloads. For example, if your workloads are heavy on reading, it might make sense to have a separate backup process that runs during periods of low read activity.
It is important to note that before you begin with any backup and restore procedures, you should make sure that you have a clear understanding of the backup and restore process, and that you have all the necessary hardware and software in place.
Additionally, it’s always a good practice to have multiple copies of your backups in different locations, such as a local drive and in the cloud, to protect against data loss due to hardware failure or other unexpected events.

Benefits of SSD over spin drives
- More Durable: Feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted on circuit boards and are more shock resistant.
- Faster: Faster data access, boot ups, file transfers, and an overall quicker computing experience than hard drives.
- Quieter: Run at near silent operation unlike loud, whirring hard disc drives.
- Lighter: Flash-based SSDs weigh considerably less.
- Cooler: SSDs require little power to operate, resulting in less heat output by your system.
- More Efficient: Consume less power at peak load.
