Important Compatibility Information
The Dell 5VHHG / Toshiba PX05SMB040Y is a 400GB 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s MLC Write Intensive enterprise solid-state drive.
A Dell Gen 13 compatible 2.5-inch hot-swap drive caddy is included with this listing.
Customers installing this SSD in Dell PowerEdge Gen 14, Gen 15, or Gen 16 servers will need to select the appropriate compatible drive caddy as an optional addition.
Compatibility requires a supported SAS-capable backplane, storage controller, firmware, and appropriate 2.5-inch drive bay configuration.
The listed server models are potential compatibility candidates. Actual support depends on the individual server configuration and Dell drive qualification. Changing the caddy alone does not guarantee compatibility.
Please verify your server model, drive bay size, SAS controller support, firmware, and caddy requirements before ordering.
