Dell 500 GB 2.5" SAS drive for PowerEdge servers

This Dell 500 GB 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and includes the hot-plug tray. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 2.5 inch SAS drives with Dell firmware. The drive ships new in retail or OEM packaging. Buyers who need larger capacity or a different form factor should look elsewhere.

Practical limits of the 6 Gb/s SAS interface

The 6 Gb/s SAS link caps sustained throughput below the interface maximum. Random I/O performance is limited by the 7200 RPM spindle speed. The drive is not suited for workloads that demand SSD latency or higher sequential bandwidth. No other interface or protocol is supported by this unit.

Check your server before ordering

Verify that your PowerEdge model appears in the supported list such as R610, R710, R720, T410, T620, M610 or M910. Confirm the chassis has a free 2.5 inch hot-plug bay and a SAS backplane or controller. Ensure the system can boot from a 500 GB SAS drive with Dell firmware.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 500GB 7200 RPM drive or a lower-capacity model for my PowerEdge server?

This drive provides 500GB at 7200 RPM. Select it when you need that capacity and speed; choose a smaller model only if you require less space.

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean for everyday server workloads?

7200 RPM delivers faster sequential throughput and lower latency than slower drives, improving database scans, log writes and virtual-machine boot times.

How does the 6Gb/s SAS link affect real-world transfer rates?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained transfers at roughly 600 MB/s, so the drive will not exceed that ceiling even if the backplane supports higher speeds.
