Dell GP3FR 1.8TB SAS Drive

This new Dell GP3FR is a 1.8TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-speed block access and hot-swap capability. The drive arrives in retail or OEM packaging depending on stock.

Suits SAS 12Gb/s bays needing 10K speed

Administrators expanding Dell PowerEdge or compatible platforms with 2.5-inch hot-swap bays will find the correct part number and performance profile here. Buyers whose systems only accept 3.5-inch carriers or lack a 12Gb/s SAS backplane should look at something else. The tray type is specified as hot-swap, so fixed-mount enclosures are not supported.

SAS 12Gb/s interface at 10000 RPM

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface combined with 10000 RPM spindle speed. Controllers or backplanes limited to 6 Gb/s will operate at the lower rate. Verify the host bus adapter and backplane generation match this transfer rate before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gb/s SAS drive negotiate down to 6Gb/s on my older HBA?

Yes, the SAS 12Gb/s interface is backward compatible and will link at 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s if the host controller only supports those speeds.

How can I confirm the 10000 RPM spindle is running after installation?

Listen for the characteristic high-pitched whine of a 10K drive and verify the SMART data reports 10000 RPM in your RAID utility or OS disk tool.

Does the hot-swap tray ship with the 2.5" drive or must I order it separately?

The drive includes the Dell hot-swap tray (Tray Type: HS) so it can be inserted directly into a compatible 2.5" bay without extra parts.
