Server-ready 1 TB SAS drive

The Dell 342-0450 is a 1 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive and built for nearline server workloads. The 7.2K speed rating supports consistent throughput in multi-drive arrays. This new unit carries a 30-day warranty from the supplier.

Suited for SAS-equipped servers.

This drive fits servers and storage enclosures that provide native SAS 6Gb/s backplanes and 3.5-inch bays. It is not for systems that lack a SAS host bus adapter or require a different physical connector. Desktop boards without SAS support cannot use this drive. Buyers needing a different interface should select a matching part.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5-inch form factor. Your chassis and controller must both support this exact interface and physical size. Verify the backplane and HBA specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" SAS 6Gb/s drive need a backplane or a controller that supports 6Gb/s SAS?

Yes, the 342-0450 requires a SAS backplane or HBA that runs at 6Gb/s and a standard 3.5" drive bay with power and data cables.

Can the 7.2K nearline SAS drive share a 6Gb/s backplane with slower 3Gb/s SAS drives?

The 342-0450 will negotiate down to 3Gb/s on a mixed backplane, so it works alongside older SAS drives but at the lower link speed.

How do I confirm the 1TB SAS drive is running at 6Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a reported link speed of 6Gb/s and verify the drive identifies as a 7.2K nearline SAS device.
