About This Product
Overview
The Dell Toshiba PX05SVB096Y is an enterprise-grade 960GB solid state drive. It is built around the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface at 12Gb/s and housed in a standard 2.5-inch form factor. Toshiba makes the drive as part of its PX05S series of enterprise SAS SSDs, and it carries a Dell part number. That makes it a sensible choice for organisations that standardise on Dell hardware and want spares to match the drives already in their servers. The listing includes a drive caddy, so the drive can go into a hot-plug bay without first sourcing a separate tray.
Enterprise SAS SSDs like this one are built for a different job from desktop flash storage. They are designed to sit in servers that run around the clock, behind RAID controllers, serving many users and applications at once. SAS also brings features valued in the data centre, such as robust error handling and tight integration with enterprise RAID controllers.
Performance and Workload Fit
Moving from mechanical disks to flash makes the biggest difference to random input/output, and that is where this drive earns its place. Databases, virtual desktop pools, email servers and busy file shares all generate large numbers of small, scattered reads and writes. Spinning disks struggle with these because their heads must physically seek across the platter. A solid state drive has no seek penalty, so latency drops sharply and the system feels more responsive under load.
The 12Gb/s SAS link gives the drive a fast path to the controller, so the interface is unlikely to be the bottleneck in a single-drive or small-array setup. Combined in RAID with other drives of the same model, it can form a fast tier for hypervisor datastores, application servers or caching volumes. The 960GB capacity is a practical middle ground: large enough for operating systems, virtual machines and working datasets, while keeping a flash tier affordable.
Deployment Scenarios
A common use for this drive is as a like-for-like replacement in an existing Dell server array. Matching the part number helps keep an array uniform, which many administrators prefer when rebuilding after a drive failure. It is also popular for refreshing older servers. Swapping mechanical SAS disks for SAS SSDs can extend the useful life of a platform that still has adequate CPU and memory headroom.
Other typical deployments include boot and hypervisor volumes for virtualisation hosts, read-heavy application tiers, and front-end storage for web and database servers. Because the drive uses the 2.5-inch form factor, it fits the small form factor bays found in many 1U and 2U rack servers, where drive density matters. As with any SAS device, it needs a SAS-capable controller or HBA. The 12Gb/s link also negotiates down to 6Gb/s on older SAS controllers.
Why Choose the PX05SVB096Y?
This drive pairs Toshiba's enterprise SSD engineering with a Dell part number. That combination suits buyers who want predictable, matched components in their Dell infrastructure. It offers a straightforward way to add flash performance to SAS-based servers without changing controllers or chassis. The included caddy removes one more step from installation.
For IT teams maintaining existing estates, sourcing spares that match installed drives reduces guesswork and keeps arrays consistent. For those upgrading from hard disks, the drive is a measured step up in responsiveness at a capacity that covers most system and application volumes. It is a practical, well-understood component for anyone running SAS storage in rack servers.
About this solid state drive
Dell Toshiba PX05SVB096Y 960GB 12Gb/s SAS 2.5 inch enterprise SSD with drive caddy, for hot-plug bays in Dell PowerEdge servers. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The PX05SVB096Y is a 960GB enterprise solid state drive from Toshiba's PX05S series of SAS SSDs, built for Dell and carrying a Dell part number. It uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface in the 2.5 inch small form factor. It comes fitted in a drive caddy, so it is ready for a hot-plug bay in a Dell PowerEdge server with a SAS RAID controller or HBA.
Buyers are usually replacing a failed drive in an existing array, adding matching drives to grow one, or moving volumes from spinning disks to flash. At 960GB it suits operating system and hypervisor volumes, application tiers and read-heavy datasets, where low latency matters more than raw capacity. We supply this refurbished drive from stock in Doha to IT departments and resellers across Qatar.

Part numbers and identification
The drive label carries the model code PX05SVB096Y. This is the number to quote when matching drives already installed in an array, since a uniform set of part numbers keeps rebuilds and spares simple.

Specification
This is a SAS device: it needs a SAS RAID controller or HBA and will not run from a SATA-only port. The 12Gb/s link negotiates down to 6Gb/s on older SAS controllers and backplanes, and the drive still gives a large gain in random access over mechanical disks at the lower rate.

Installation
Fitted in its caddy, the drive can be inserted into a hot-plug bay while the server is running, provided the backplane and controller support hot-swap. On a Dell PERC controller, a replacement drive in a degraded array can start a rebuild as soon as it is detected, depending on the controller settings; otherwise it can be assigned as a hot spare or used in a new virtual disk. Most RAID controllers, including PERC models, will not mix SSDs and mechanical disks in the same virtual disk, so build flash arrays from drives of the same capacity and interface, ideally the same model. Dell has used different caddy designs across PowerEdge generations, and the drive seats and locks only in a bay that matches its caddy. Before pulling a drive from a running server, check the bay LEDs so that a healthy array member is not removed by mistake.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PX05SVB096Y?
The PX05SVB096Y is a 960GB 2.5-inch enterprise solid state drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface. Toshiba makes it as part of the PX05S series, and it carries a Dell part number for use in Dell server environments. This listing includes a drive caddy, so it is ready to fit into a compatible hot-plug drive bay.
Can I use this SAS SSD on a SATA controller?
No. SAS drives need a SAS-capable controller, RAID card or HBA. A SAS controller can usually run SATA drives, but the reverse is not true: a SATA-only port or controller cannot run a SAS drive. If your server has a Dell PERC or another SAS RAID controller with SAS backplane connections, it is the right kind of host for this drive.
Will a 12Gb/s SAS SSD work with a 6Gb/s SAS controller?
Yes. The SAS standard is backward compatible, so a 12Gb/s SAS drive negotiates down to 6Gb/s when connected to an older 6Gb/s SAS controller or backplane. The link then runs at the lower rate. Even so, an SSD still gives a large improvement in random access over mechanical drives, which makes it a worthwhile upgrade for older SAS servers.
Which servers is this drive used in?
This Dell-branded Toshiba SSD is used in Dell PowerEdge servers and other systems that have 2.5-inch SAS drive bays connected to a SAS controller. Dell server generations use different caddy designs. Before ordering, confirm that the supplied caddy matches the drive bays in your chassis so the drive seats and locks correctly.
Is the drive hot-swappable?
Fitted in its caddy, the drive can be installed in a hot-plug drive bay on servers whose backplane and controller support hot-swap operation. This lets you replace or add drives without powering down the system. In RAID arrays, it also lets the controller start a rebuild as soon as the new drive is detected, depending on how the controller is configured.
Can I mix this SSD with hard drives in the same RAID array?
Most RAID controllers, including Dell PERC models, do not allow SSDs and mechanical hard drives in the same virtual disk. Both can usually sit in the same server as separate arrays. For best results, build SSD arrays from drives of the same capacity and interface. Using matching PX05SVB096Y drives keeps an array consistent.
