Dell 342-2336 3TB SAS hard drive

This is a new Dell 342-2336 internal hard drive with a 3TB capacity. It uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The 3.5-inch form factor includes a hot-swap tray for server installation.

Ideal for server storage arrays needing 6Gb/s SAS

This drive suits administrators expanding capacity in compatible Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault systems that accept 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS drives. Buyers whose chassis or controller only support 2.5-inch drive bays cannot use this part.

6Gb/s SAS interface and 3.5-inch hot-swap form

The drive connects via a 6Gb/s SAS link and fits standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bays with the included tray. Verify that your server backplane and RAID controller support this interface and physical size before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" SAS drive ship with a hot-swap tray for server bays?

Yes, the 342-2336 includes a hot-swap tray so the 3TB drive can slide directly into a compatible 3.5" SAS bay.

What is the correct way to seat the SAS connector when installing the 342-2336?

Align the SAS data and power plugs on the drive with the backplane, then push firmly until the tray latch clicks — partial insertion causes detection failures.

After how many operating hours should the 7200 RPM SAS drive be checked for replacement?

Enterprise SAS drives at 7200 RPM are typically rated for five years of continuous operation; plan a health check at that interval.
