Dell 342-0002 2TB SAS drive

This 2TB 3.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and is built for Dell PowerEdge servers. It suits administrators who need reliable near-line storage for archival or backup workloads. The drive uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface and fits standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bays.

Hot-swap tray included

The supplied tray lets you insert or remove the drive without powering down the server. This reduces downtime during drive replacement or capacity expansion. No extra cabling or mounting hardware is required beyond the tray itself.

Direct bay installation

Slide the tray into a compatible 3.5-inch hot-swap bay until it locks; the SAS and power connections engage automatically. Ensure the server backplane supports 6Gb/s SAS and that the RAID controller recognises near-line drives. Missing tray compatibility or an unsupported backplane are the common fitment issues.

Questions about this item

How often should I expect to replace the 7200 RPM SAS drive in a server?

Plan replacement when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or after the rated workload limit is reached.

What limits sustained throughput on the 6 Gb/s SAS interface?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 6 Gb/s SAS link set the practical ceiling for continuous transfers.

How much heat and noise does the 3.5 inch near-line drive produce all day?

Expect typical 3.5 inch 7200 RPM near-line heat output and audible seek noise during constant operation.
