Dell 34XWC 1.2TB SAS Drive

The Dell 34XWC is a 1.2TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for servers and workstations that demand consistent throughput. Its SAS interface and 10000 RPM spindle suit databases, virtualisation hosts and high-transaction workloads. The bare-drive packaging means it arrives ready for direct installation into compatible drive bays. It is not for users who need larger capacities or solid-state latency.

Capacity and 10K Headroom

At 1.2TB the drive holds operating-system images, application binaries and active project data with room for growth. The 10000 RPM rotation keeps average latency low enough for mixed read and write streams typical of business applications. Workloads that require multi-terabyte datasets or sustained sequential rates beyond mechanical limits will outgrow this spindle.

SAS 12Gb/s Fit and Hot-Plug Freedom

The SAS 12Gb/s connection plugs straight into backplanes and RAID controllers that support the standard, so no extra adapters are required. A 2.5 inch drive inside a 3.5 inch hybrid carrier enables hot-plug replacement in supported Dell PowerEdge chassis. Builds lacking SAS infrastructure or hot-plug bays cannot use the drive as intended.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS interface on this 1.2TB drive work with my older 6Gb/s SAS controller?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible with 6Gb/s controllers, though the drive will run at the lower 6Gb/s speed.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is performing correctly after installation?

Check SMART data for reallocated sectors and run a surface scan; the drive should report 10000 RPM and a 64MB buffer in system diagnostics.

Does the bare 34XWC drive include the 3.5" hybrid carrier tray shown in photos?

The product is sold as a bare drive; the 3.5" hybrid carrier tray for hot-plug server bays is not included and must be purchased separately.
