1 TB SAS enterprise drive

The Dell 740YX is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 1 TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface and includes a 64 MB buffer. The unit ships with a tray for direct installation into compatible PowerEdge server bays. Condition is refurbished.

Suited to near-line server storage

This drive fits administrators who need cost-effective bulk capacity for archiving, backups or secondary data sets in a SAS environment. It is not intended for high-transaction databases or latency-sensitive workloads that demand faster random-access performance. Buyers who require solid-state speeds or larger single-drive capacities should consider alternative media.

Steady throughput under sustained writes

The 7200 RPM rotation and SAS interface deliver consistent sequential transfer rates during long backup windows or bulk data ingest. The 64 MB cache absorbs burst I/O without masking the mechanical latency inherent to rotating media. Thermal output remains stable in multi-drive arrays when airflow matches the chassis design.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a SAS 6Gb/s backplane or controller for the 740YX to operate?

Yes, the drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface and requires a compatible controller or backplane that supports this protocol.

Can the 740YX share a SAS backplane with older 3Gb/s SAS drives?

The 740YX runs at SAS 6Gb/s but will negotiate down to 3Gb/s when connected to a slower backplane, allowing mixed-speed operation.

How can I verify the 740YX is spinning at its rated 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in your RAID controller BIOS, server management console, or SMART data; it should read 7200 RPM.
