Dell 1 TB SAS 2.5" drive

This Dell 9W5WV is a 1 TB internal hard drive with a 7200 RPM spindle and a 64 MB cache. It connects through a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. The unit is supplied new and includes a tray for installation.

Server and array builders

The drive suits administrators expanding Dell PowerEdge C6100 servers or compatible storage arrays that accept SAS 2.5 inch drives. Buyers whose systems lack a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive. It is also unsuitable for anyone needing solid-state speed or a larger capacity than 1 TB.

SAS interface requirement

The single specification that decides fit is the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. Only platforms with a native SAS connector or a compatible RAID controller can communicate with this drive.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 7200 RPM SAS drive is recognised and performing correctly after installation?

The drive should appear in the server BIOS and RAID controller as a 1TB SAS device; run a SMART self-test and confirm zero reallocated sectors.

What comes in the box and what must be sourced separately for this 2.5" SAS drive?

The drive ships with a Dell tray for PowerVault or PowerEdge C6100; cables, backplane brackets and RAID controller are not included.

Which capacity and cache combination suits a PowerEdge C6100 server workload?

This single 1TB model with 64MB cache is the only variant listed for the C6100; select it when a 7200 RPM SAS drive is required.
