Dell 2TRM4 1.8TB SAS drive

The Dell 2TRM4 is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM. The drive is sold new and fits hot-plug bays designed for 2.5 inch form factors.

Capacity and 10K speed headroom

With 1.8TB of storage on Advanced Format 512e sectors, the drive handles transactional databases, virtualisation hosts and logging workloads. The 10000 RPM spindle delivers low latency for random read and write patterns. Sequential throughput tops out at the mechanical limit well below the 1200 Mbps external link rate.

SAS 12Gb/s interface limits

The single-port SAS 12Gb/s connection caps sustained transfers at the interface maximum of 1200 Mbps. Real-world throughput is bounded by the 10000 RPM rotational speed and seek time. The drive cannot saturate the link on large sequential workloads and lacks dual-port redundancy for multipath configurations.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5 inch SAS 12Gb/s interface work with my existing 6Gb/s backplane?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface that is backward compatible with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s controllers, so it will operate on your current backplane at the lower link speed.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM spindle speed is active after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system utilities; it should show 10000 RPM for this model.

Does the 2TRM4 ship with a caddy or mounting bracket for the hot-plug bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5 inch unit; a Dell hot-plug caddy or tray for your specific server chassis must be purchased separately.
