Capacity and interface

This is a 2TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It is built for desktop chassis and server bays that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives. The drive arrives new and is suited for bulk storage workloads that benefit from the SAS protocol.

Suited for SAS bays, not SATA-only systems

The drive fits systems with a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or controller and a standard 3.5-inch drive bay. It will not work in SATA-only controllers or enclosures that lack SAS support. Buyers who need a SATA interface or a 2.5-inch form factor should look at a different part.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Your host bus adapter, RAID card or backplane must support 12Gb/s SAS signalling for the drive to operate. Without that interface the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DELL 7RCGV 3.5" SAS drive in a desktop, and what step is often missed?

Mount the 3.5" drive in a standard bay, connect the SAS data cable to a 12Gb/s SAS controller and attach a SATA power connector; the step often missed is confirming the controller supports SAS at 12Gb/s rather than only SATA.

What maintenance or replacement will the DELL 7RCGV 2TB 7200 RPM drive need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replacement is needed only if the drive fails or capacity runs out, at which point another 3.5" SAS drive with the same 12Gb/s interface can be swapped in.

What limit appears first on the DELL 7RCGV 12Gb/s SAS drive during sustained use?

The 7200 RPM rotational speed limits sustained transfer rates before the 12Gb/s SAS interface saturates.
