Dell 1TB SAS drive for PowerEdge servers

This new 2.5-inch Constellation.2 drive delivers 1TB of storage on a 6Gbps SAS interface. It spins at 7.2K RPM and uses a 512n sector format for broad compatibility. The unit is tested with updated firmware and supplied in retail or OEM packaging.

Suited for capacity expansion in listed Dell systems

Buyers who need hot-plug trays or caddies must source them separately as they are not included. Systems requiring 12Gbps SAS throughput or higher spindle speeds should consider alternative drives. The 512n format matches legacy arrays but does not support 4Kn native environments.

6Gbps SAS interface determines array compatibility

The drive connects via a standard SAS port operating at 6Gbps, matching the backplanes of the compatible PowerEdge models listed. Verify that your controller and backplane support this link speed before purchase. The 512n sector size ensures drop-in replacement for existing 512n volumes.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5 inch 9W5WV drive fit in the 2.5 inch bays of a Dell PowerEdge R630?

Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor matches the standard 2.5 inch drive bays in the PowerEdge R630 and other listed servers such as the R730 and R730XD.

Does the 9W5WV drive require a carrier or caddy when installing it into a Dell PowerEdge R730?

The drive itself is a bare 2.5 inch unit; most PowerEdge servers including the R730 need a Dell 2.5 inch drive carrier, so install the drive into that carrier first.

How often should the 9W5WV Constellation.2 drive be checked for firmware updates after deployment?

Dell recommends checking for firmware updates periodically, especially after initial deployment in arrays like the MD1400 or MD1420, to maintain compatibility and performance.
