Dell 529FG 4 TB SAS drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 4 TB of storage on a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 128 MB cache and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is built for continuous operation in server and storage arrays.

Suited for bulk server storage.

The drive targets administrators who need high-capacity, 24/7 mechanical storage for data centres or RAID enclosures. Buyers who require solid-state speeds should consider a different storage class. Systems limited to SATA-only controllers cannot use this SAS device.

SAS 6 Gb/s interface dictates controller

Connection requires a host bus adapter or RAID card that supports 6 Gb/s SAS signalling. The 7200 RPM spindle and 128 MB buffer provide predictable throughput for sequential workloads. Physical dimensions follow the standard 3.5-inch form factor for hot-swap bays.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SAS drive in a server chassis and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, connect the SAS data and power cables, then configure the drive in the RAID controller BIOS so the operating system can see the 4 TB volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the 7200 RPM drive need later?

The drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire unit if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or if the 128 MB cache cannot sustain write throughput.

What limit appears first during sustained 24/7 writes on the SAS 6Gb/s interface?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed caps sequential throughput, so sustained transfers will hit the mechanical media rate before the 6 Gb/s SAS link saturates.
