1 TB enterprise hard drive

This Dell FNW88 is a 1 TB Nearline SAS hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The 3.5 inch bare drive is sold in refurbished condition.

Suits servers, not laptops

The SAS interface and 3.5 inch form factor require a compatible backplane or controller, so it fits rack servers and storage enclosures. Builders working on laptops, desktops without SAS ports, or small-form-factor cases should look elsewhere.

Nearline SAS 6 Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the Nearline SAS 6 Gb/s connection. Your system must provide a SAS controller or backplane that supports this link speed, otherwise the drive cannot communicate.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 7200 RPM drive is spinning correctly after installation?

Listen for steady motor hum and check BIOS or RAID controller detects the 1TB capacity at SAS 6Gb/s link speed.

What comes with the bare FNW88 drive and what must I source separately?

Only the 3.5" drive is included; you need SAS data and power cables plus a compatible backplane or HBA.

Which FNW88 variant should I pick for a nearline SAS array?

This single 1TB 7200 RPM Nearline SAS 6Gb/s model is the only version listed.
