Dell 342-2098 SAS drive

The Dell 342-2098 is a 1TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM. It uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface and ships with a mounting tray. The unit is supplied new in bare drive packaging.

Server storage upgrades

This drive suits administrators adding capacity to compatible Dell servers or storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch SAS drives. Buyers whose systems require a different physical form factor or interface protocol should look at something else.

SAS 6 Gbit interface

The single specification that decides fit is the Serial Attached SCSI 6 Gbit interface. The host backplane or controller must support this exact connection standard for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can I expect from the SAS 6 Gbit/s interface once the drive is installed in a server?

The SAS interface is rated at 6 Gbit/s, so sustained transfers will be limited by the drive’s 7200 RPM mechanical speed rather than the link bandwidth.

Does the SAS 6 Gbit/s connection require a specific backplane or controller to reach its rated speed?

A SAS 6 Gbit/s controller or backplane is needed; the drive will negotiate down to 3 Gbit/s if connected to an older 3 Gbit/s SAS port.

Will the included tray fit a standard 3.5-inch drive bay in a Dell PowerEdge server?

The drive ships with a Dell tray designed for 3.5-inch hot-swap bays in compatible PowerEdge and Precision systems.
