Capacity and interface

This is a 900 GB 2.5 inch internal hard drive with a Serial Attached SCSI interface operating at 6 Gb/s. It spins at 10000 RPM to deliver fast disk access for transactional workloads. The drive ships new in OEM packaging with a hot-swap tray included. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible workstations.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 10000 RPM spindle speed maintains consistent throughput for random I/O patterns typical of database and virtualisation tasks. SAS signalling at 6 Gb/s supports dual-port redundancy and multipath I/O for high-availability configurations. Mechanical latency stays predictable during extended duty cycles in multi-drive arrays. The hot-swap tray allows replacement without powering down the enclosure.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your server or storage system accepts 2.5 inch SAS drives with a 6 Gb/s backplane and the correct carrier keying. Confirm the controller supports the drive’s capacity and rotational speed within its firmware compatibility list. Ensure the chassis provides adequate cooling for 10000 RPM devices in the target slot. This drive is not suited for laptops or consumer desktops lacking SAS controllers and hot-swap bays.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 10000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously in a server?

The 2.5" 10000 RPM SAS drive is designed for server workloads; its spindle speed and 6Gb/s interface indicate higher sustained power draw and heat output than slower laptop drives, so ensure your chassis provides adequate airflow.

What existing hardware is required to install this 900GB SAS drive in a Dell PowerEdge server?

You need a compatible Dell PowerEdge server with a 2.5" hot-swap SAS backplane and a SAS controller or RAID card that supports 6Gb/s SAS; the included tray fits the standard drive bay.

Will this 6Gb/s SAS drive work alongside older 3Gb/s SAS drives in the same PowerEdge array?

Yes, the 6Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s SAS backplanes and controllers; the drive will negotiate the lower link speed automatically while sharing the same enclosure.
