Dell 7FXC3 480GB SSD: BOSS-S1 compatibility and order checks
On this page
Dell 7FXC3 / SSDSCKKB480G8R
The KOEED 7FXC3 listing identifies a 480GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD with Intel model SSDSCKKB480G8R. Confirm whether the quotation covers the SSD alone or a controller assembly. Dell BOSS-S1 uses M.2 SATA drives; an M.2 form factor by itself does not establish compatibility.
Identify the drive and the controller separately
Dell describes BOSS-S1 as a boot-storage RAID solution supporting up to two 80 mm M.2 SATA drives. The controller and its installed SSDs are separate parts. A listing containing the phrase "BOSS card" can therefore leave the included hardware unclear.

| Item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Drive label | Dell part number 7FXC3 or 07FXC3 and Intel SSDSCKKB480G8R as shown on the actual label. |
| Listing specification | 480GB, M.2 2280, SATA. Obtain the actual drive label and firmware details. |
| Server | PowerEdge model and service tag, supplied privately when requesting a compatibility check. |
| Controller | Exact BOSS generation, controller firmware and existing drive configuration. |
| Included parts | Bare SSD, mounting screw, controller and any carrier should be itemized separately. |
Check the supported configuration before ordering
Use the server documentation and Dell support record to confirm the supported drive and firmware combination. Do not extend a BOSS-S1 compatibility result to BOSS-S2 or another controller generation without checking that configuration.
Ask whether the replacement will join an existing mirrored virtual disk or start a new boot installation. Record the surviving drive model and firmware where relevant. The person performing the change should plan the backup, recovery and array handling before removing anything.
Request useful condition information
- Ask for the actual label photograph, stated condition and warranty terms.
- For a used SSD, request available health and usage information, with the tool and date that produced it.
- Clarify whether the seller supplies a blank drive; do not expect a licensed operating system or a recoverable server image.
- Confirm quantity and the exact hardware included in the written quotation.
Can any 480GB M.2 drive replace it?
Capacity and connector shape are insufficient checks. The interface, controller support and firmware requirements all need to match the server configuration. Send both the existing drive label and the BOSS identification when requesting a replacement.
