DELL 345-BFZM internal solid state drive 1.92 TB 2.5" SAS

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £3025 ex-VAT for a 2.5" SAS SSD, this isn’t “buy it because it’s an SSD” territory—it’s “you probably have a SAS backplane and mission-critical expectations” territory. The fact it’s a Dell-branded internal solid state drive with SAS is the key: it’s most worth it for businesses that are already invested in Dell server storage workflows and want predictable compatibility, serviceability, and support paths. If you’re swapping aging SAS drives in a Dell environment for better latency and more consistent performance (databases, transactional apps, virtualisation hosts), the pricing can make sense because downtime avoidance and fewer performance surprises are the real ROI.

Who shouldn’t buy it: anyone with SATA-only kit, a generic server setup, or workloads that are mostly sequential throughput where cheaper SSDs (or even a different storage strategy) would deliver similar day-to-day gains. Also, if your budget is tight and you’re not tied to SAS, there are usually far better value options per pound—this one’s for the “we need it to fit perfectly and we need it to behave like we expect” crowd, not for squeezing maximum capacity/price. If you tell me your server model and what it’s replacing, I can sanity-check whether this is the right kind of upgrade or just an expensive assumption.
