Question 1

Is this OEM or retail?

Accepted Answer

This drive is a retail item. Only requires installation and formatting to use.

Question 2

I had a western 4gb drive in a external usb box and could only format 2gb. I'm afraid I would have the problem with this drive?

Accepted Answer

You had an external drive enclosure that was incompatible, or operating system issues and you need to initialize 4tb drives with GPT partition. There is no issues with these drives if your os, enclosures, and partitions are correct.

Question 3

Will this be reliable in a server application used mostly for backup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the SAMSUNG 870 EVO 4TB Internal SSD is recognized for its reliability and long-term performance, making it suitable for various tasks including server applications and backups.

Question 4

What is the actual storage capacity of the SSD 4T|SAMSUNG MZ-77E4T0B/AM R?

Accepted Answer

This actually depends on the file system and other factors. You can't reliably calculate this without these details. If anyone tells you otherwise it's not a guarantee you'll get the same capacity. Worse is that with a change in 'standard' 4TB no longer means what it used to (more specifically storage should be powers of 2 so a kilobyte should be 1024 bytes but due to 'improvements' they changed it to 1000: which lets companies get away with a bit less storage, to say nothing of irking programmers).

Question 5

Are mounting screws included?

Accepted Answer

No, mounting screws are not included.

Question 6

Will this work in a Dell T430 server?

Accepted Answer

The Samsung 870 EVO SSD is designed with compatibility in mind and has been tested for major host systems and applications, including motherboards and NAS devices. However, specific compatibility with a Dell T430 server is not mentioned in the provided product information. It is recommended to check the server's specifications or consult with Dell to ensure compatibility with a 2.5-inch SATA interface SSD.

Question 7

Does this come with a SATA cable?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not.

Question 8

is it compatible with the dell xps 15 9520?
