Dell 342-2081 600GB SAS Drive

This is a new Dell 342-2081 internal hard drive with a 600GB capacity and a 15000 RPM spindle speed. It uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface running at 6Gb/s and fits a 3.5 inch form factor. A hot-swap tray is included for server installation.

Suits Dell PowerEdge T110 II servers needing fast

This drive is built for the Dell PowerEdge T110 II server and similar systems that accept 3.5 inch SAS drives with a hot-swap tray. Buyers whose servers require a different physical size or a larger capacity should look elsewhere.

15000 RPM spindle speed for high transaction rates

The 15000 RPM rotation speed delivers the low latency needed for heavy I/O workloads such as databases. If the application can run on a slower spindle to save cost or power, this drive is not the right choice.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 15000 RPM SAS drive generate during continuous server operation?

The 15000 RPM spindle speed and 6Gb/s SAS interface indicate higher power draw and heat output than slower drives; ensure your server chassis provides adequate airflow for 3.5" hot-swap bays.

What server backplane and controller do I need to install this 3.5" SAS hard drive?

You need a server with 3.5" hot-swap drive bays, a SAS backplane supporting 6Gb/s speeds, and a compatible SAS RAID controller or HBA; the Dell PowerEdge T110 II is a validated platform.

Will this 6Gb/s SAS drive work in an older server that only supports 3Gb/s SAS backplanes?

Yes, the 6Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s SAS backplanes and controllers; the drive will operate at the lower 3Gb/s link speed without configuration changes.
