Dell C36WJ 2TB Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell C36WJ is a 2TB 3.5" internal hard drive with a Nearline SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It arrives as a bare drive with hot-swap tray support for compatible Dell servers and storage arrays. The 12Gb/s transfer rate suits nearline workloads that demand consistent throughput. This drive is built for enterprise environments where Dell-qualified parts are required.

Suits arrays needing Dell-qualified 12Gb/s SAS

This drive fits administrators expanding or repairing Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault systems that specify the C36WJ part number. It is not for builders who need a non-SAS interface or a different physical form factor. Buyers without a SAS backplane and hot-swap cage cannot install it. Shops requiring capacities above 2TB must select a different model.

12Gb/s Nearline SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12Gb/s Nearline SAS interface combined with the 3.5" hot-swap form factor. Your chassis and controller must support this exact interface and tray type. If the system calls for a different protocol or drive bay size, the C36WJ will not work. Verify the Dell part number against your hardware list before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the C36WJ arrive with a mounting tray or cables, or must I buy them separately?

The drive ships as a bare unit without a tray or cables; you will need a 3.5" SAS hot-swap carrier and a compatible SAS data cable for installation.

The specifications list both a 6 Gb/s and a 12 Gb/s rate — which one should I expect in my system?

The drive supports up to 12 Gb/s SAS; actual throughput depends on your controller and backplane, but the hardware is rated for the higher speed.

What does the 7.2K speed rating mean for everyday read and write performance?

At 7200 RPM the drive delivers typical nearline throughput suitable for bulk storage, backups and sequential workloads rather than low-latency transactional tasks.
