600 GB 10K SAS drive

The Dell 5R6CX is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive with a 600 GB capacity and a 10000 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a Serial Attached SCSI interface rated at 6 Gb/s and includes a 16 MB buffer. A hot-swap tray is supplied for direct installation into compatible bays.

Server storage upgrades

This drive suits administrators adding nearline capacity to PowerVault or similar Dell servers that accept 2.5 inch SAS hot-swap trays. It is not for desktop PCs or laptops that lack a SAS controller and the required backplane. Builders needing larger capacities or solid-state performance should look elsewhere.

10000 RPM spindle speed

The 10000 RPM rotational speed determines the drive's random access latency and sustained transfer rate for transactional workloads. Verify that the target system supports 2.5 inch SAS drives at this speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 10000 RPM 2.5" SAS drive draw when running continuously?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed and SAS 6Gb/s interface mean the 5R6CX consumes more power than slower nearline drives, so plan for adequate cooling and a power supply rated for multiple high-performance drives.

What controller or backplane must I already have to use this 6Gb/s SAS drive?

A SAS 6Gb/s host bus adapter, RAID controller, or server backplane with SAS connectors is required to communicate with the 5R6CX.

Will the included tray fit the 2.5" bays in my older PowerVault enclosure?

The hot-swap tray supplied with the 5R6CX matches Dell 2.5" drive bays used in PowerVault servers, so it installs directly without an adapter.
