It comes in the 2.5-inch size and is a mixed use drive, which means it is made for both reads and writes. Dell uses this number for a server drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDell label, maker label\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeller listings link 7GR2K to the SK hynix model HFS960G32FEH-BA10A. The Dell number is the one to quote when you match a spare. The maker number helps when you read a data sheet or a system log.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat mixed use means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrive makers sort server SSDs by how much data they write. Read intensive drives suit data that is written once and read often. Mixed use drives take more writes, so they suit databases, virtual machines and busy file stores. A 960GB drive gives a mid size pool of fast storage for those jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMatch the drive to the job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse mixed use drives for data that changes often, such as database files and virtual machine disks. Keep read intensive drives for archives and media. When the two stay apart, it is easier to track wear and plan spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much room you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMakers count a gigabyte as one billion bytes. Your operating system often counts in binary units instead. So a 960GB drive shows up as about 894GiB once it is formatted. Plan your volumes with the smaller figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat SATA can do\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA SATA 6Gb\/s link moves about 600 MB\/s at most. That is plenty for boot volumes, caches, logs and small databases. If you need more speed from each bay, an NVMe or SAS drive suits you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpare drive tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep spares with the same Dell number as the drives in the set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing drive classes in one RAID set can hold the faster drives back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck that your backplane takes SATA drives before you plan a swap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the drive tray made for your server, since trays differ by model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDell 7GR2K specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePart number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7GR2K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSK hynix, per seller listings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHFS960G32FEH-BA10A, per seller listings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e960GB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInterface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA 6Gb\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eForm factor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5-inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWorkload\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMixed use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFormatted size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 894GiB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Dell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63118829486451,"sku":"7GR2K","price":508.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/9546\/1747\/files\/dm_7gr2k_5.jpg?v=1784575278","url":"https:\/\/cpurepublic.com\/products\/dell-960gb-sata-6gbps-mixed-use-2-5-inch-ssd-7gr2k","provider":"CPU Republic LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
