Dell FNW88 1 TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell FNW88 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 1 TB capacity and a 7200 rpm spindle speed. It uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface and arrives mounted in a hot-swap tray for large-form-factor bays. This new drive suits servers and storage arrays that require serial attached SCSI connectivity.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive fits administrators expanding SAS-based storage pools or replacing failed units in compatible hot-swap chassis. The 7.2k rpm spindle provides consistent throughput for bulk data, backups and archival workloads. Buyers whose systems lack a SAS controller or an available 3.5 inch hot-swap bay cannot install this drive.

The specification that decides fit

The 6Gb/s SAS interface is the single factor that determines compatibility. The drive will only function when connected to a backplane or controller that supports serial attached SCSI at that signalling rate. Verify the host hardware provides a SAS port and a large-form-factor hot-swap slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the FNW88 is spinning at 7200 RPM after installation?

Listen for the characteristic 7200 RPM spindle sound and check the SAS controller BIOS or OS disk utility to confirm the drive reports a 6Gb/s link speed and 1 TB capacity.

What comes in the box with the FNW88 and what must I source separately?

The drive ships mounted in a hot-swap tray; you must supply a compatible 3.5 inch SAS backplane or cage, SAS data and power cables, and a 6Gb/s SAS HBA or RAID controller.

Which capacity version of the FNW88 should I choose for a Dell PowerEdge server bay?

This listing is the 1 TB model; select it when you need a single 1 TB LFF SAS drive — other capacities are different part numbers.
