Dell 2 TB SAS 12G 7.2K SFF

This Dell 2 TB hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It is built for server and storage-array workloads that demand consistent near-line performance. The 128 MB buffer and 512n sector format support high-throughput read and write operations. Hot-plug capability allows drive replacement without powering down the enclosure.

Check SAS controller and bay compatibility

Verify that your system provides a SAS 12Gb/s backplane or controller with an available 2.5 inch hot-plug bay. The drive is validated for Dell EMC PowerVault MD12XX enclosures and PowerEdge servers including C6420, R640, R740, R740XD and R940. Ensure the chassis supports 7.2K near-line drives and that firmware is current for 512n sector operation. Confirm cabling and backplane bandwidth match the 12Gb/s interface speed.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

As a 7200 RPM mechanical drive, it generates typical near-line heat and audible seek noise during sustained workloads. Power draw scales with SAS 12Gb/s link activity and spindle speed under load. Server chassis airflow is designed to manage thermal output for this class of drive. Hot-plug operation permits removal if a drive exceeds expected temperature thresholds.

Questions about this item

Does the TMVN7 drive ship with a mounting tray or caddy for the 2.5" bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" SAS unit; a compatible hot-plug tray or caddy for the target server must be sourced separately.

Which SAS 12Gb/s 2TB 7200 RPM 2.5" version should I select for a PowerEdge R740?

The TMVN7 part number matches the Dell-qualified Seagate ST2000NX0463 specified for the R740 and other listed PowerEdge models.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface deliver in a live PowerEdge R640?

The 12Gb/s SAS link provides the full external transfer rate to the controller, while the 7200 RPM mechanism and 128 MB buffer determine sustained throughput.
