What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against SA1000M8/480G specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Endurance matched to the workload
We ask what the drive is being written to before quoting, because a read-intensive part on a write-heavy volume is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is SA1000M8/480G genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Kingston packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will SA1000M8/480G work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
