Dell 1.8TB SAS 10K drive

This Dell internal hard drive delivers 1.8TB of storage on a 2.5-inch form factor with a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 10000 RPM and uses 512e sector formatting for broad compatibility with enterprise storage arrays and servers. The unit ships new with updated firmware.

Suited for SAS environments only

This drive fits systems that provide a native SAS 12Gb/s backplane or controller and accept 2.5-inch hot-plug or fixed bays. Buyers whose hardware lacks a SAS interface or cannot accommodate a 2.5-inch enterprise drive should look at other storage options.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the SAS 12Gb/s interface; the host must support this exact protocol to recognise and use the drive. Without a compatible SAS controller the drive will not function.

Questions about this item

What does the 10000 RPM figure mean once the drive is installed in a server?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed delivers lower latency and higher sustained throughput than slower drives, which benefits transactional workloads and database logs.

What does the SAS 12Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides up to 12Gb/s of bus bandwidth, and the drive uses the 512e sector format for compatibility with legacy operating systems.

What does the 2.5 inch form factor need to fit or mount in a chassis?

The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard 2.5 inch drive bays or hot-swap trays and uses the standard SAS connector layout for direct backplane attachment.
