SKU CH-EXKK-BVAB5

A 1.2 TB 10K SAS 2.5" enterprise drive with tray for high-performance storage

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10 000 RPM spindle speeds up data access
  • 6 Gbps SAS interface moves data quickly
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense bays
  • Includes tray for direct server installation

Enterprise SAS drive for dense servers

The Dell 36RH9-ALT is a 1.2 TB 10K SAS drive in a 2.5 inch form factor with an integrated tray. It is built for enterprise storage arrays and servers that require a 6 Gbps SAS interface and high spindle speed in a compact bay.

Capacity and headroom for transactional workloads

The 1.2 TB capacity provides space for databases, virtual machines and mixed read-write workloads. The 10 000 RPM spindle delivers low latency for random I/O, while the 6 Gbps SAS link caps sustained throughput for large sequential transfers.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The 2.5 inch enterprise design is engineered for continuous operation in multi-drive chassis with managed airflow. Power draw scales with seek activity typical of 10K drives, and acoustic output is consistent with high-performance SAS spindles in server environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 6Gbps SAS 1.2TB 10K drive work in a server that only has 3Gbps SAS backplanes?

Yes, the 6Gbps SAS interface is backward compatible with 3Gbps SAS backplanes, though the drive will operate at the lower 3Gbps link speed.

How can I verify the 1.2TB 10K SAS drive is healthy and performing correctly after installation?

Check the drive's SMART attributes using a tool like smartctl or the server's RAID controller BIOS; look for zero reallocated sectors and confirm the link speed shows 6Gbps.

Does the 36RH9-ALT 2.5" SAS drive ship with the Dell mounting tray, or must I buy the tray separately?

The product includes the Dell mounting tray (caddy) attached to the 2.5" drive, so no separate tray purchase is required for compatible Dell PowerEdge bays.
