  • 1 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 2 K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • SAS 12 Gb/s interface moves data quickly
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Included Dell caddy enables tool-less installation in compatible PowerEdge servers

1 TB SAS Drive for Dell PowerEdge Servers

This 1 TB SAS hard drive spins at 7.2K rpm and includes a compatible caddy for direct installation in supported Dell PowerEdge servers. It is built for administrators who need reliable bulk storage in existing 3.5-inch drive bays.

12 Gb/s SAS Interface Limits

The 12 Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum theoretical throughput, but real-world transfer rates depend on the controller, backplane and workload mix. Sequential reads and writes will not exceed the physical limits of the 7.2K rpm platters, and random I/O performance is constrained by rotational latency.

Upgrade From Smaller SAS Drives

This drive replaces lower-capacity 3.5-inch SAS units in the listed PowerEdge models when storage demand grows beyond the existing volumes. The jump is worthwhile when the array can use the extra terabyte without requiring a controller or backplane change.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1TB SAS 3.5" 7.2K 12G drive or a different capacity for my Dell server?

This listing is for the 1TB capacity only; other sizes are separate items, so choose this when you need exactly one terabyte of SAS storage.

What does the 7.2K spindle speed mean for daily server workloads?

The 7.2K RPM rotation suits bulk storage, backups and near-line data where high throughput is less critical than capacity per drive bay.

The drive uses a 12G SAS interface — what does that limit in practice?

The 12G SAS link caps the maximum transfer rate at twelve gigabits per second, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that ceiling.
