1.8 TB 10K SAS enterprise drive

This Dell drive delivers 1.8 TB of storage on a 6 Gb/s SAS interface with a 10 000 RPM spindle. The 2.5 inch form factor fits dense server and storage arrays. It is supplied new with updated firmware for immediate deployment. ||

Suited for high-throughput enterprise workloads

The 10 000 RPM speed and SAS interface target transactional databases, virtualisation hosts and tier-one storage pools that demand consistent low latency. Buyers who need more capacity per drive or a different interface should consider other options. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive. ||

10 000 RPM spindle speed

The 10 000 RPM rotation rate is the primary determinant of random IOPS and access latency for this model. Verify that the target chassis and controller support 2.5 inch SAS drives at this speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the SAS 6Gb/s interface on the HUC101818CS4204 require a specific controller or backplane for replacement?

The drive uses a standard SAS 6Gb/s interface, so any compatible SAS HBA, RAID card or backplane that supports 6 Gb/s will accept a direct replacement without adapter changes.

What is the first limit reached during sustained write workloads on this 10000 RPM 1.8TB drive?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed and SAS 6Gb/s link set the sustained throughput ceiling; the mechanical media transfer rate becomes the bottleneck before the interface saturates.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" 10000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

A 2.5" 10000 RPM enterprise drive generates moderate heat and a noticeable whine under constant operation; adequate airflow in the chassis is recommended to keep temperatures in spec.
