Dell GT7MT 1.2TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell GT7MT is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a SAS interface. It is built for desktop systems and servers that require high-speed mechanical storage in a small form factor. The drive arrives as a bare unit without a tray or bracket. Its 12Gb/s transfer rate supports demanding read and write workloads.

Suits SAS bays needing 10K speed

This drive fits 2.5-inch SAS drive bays that can handle 10000 RPM operation and a 12Gb/s link. Systems limited to slower SAS speeds or smaller capacities will not use the full performance. Buyers who need a larger capacity, a different physical size, or a non-SAS interface should look elsewhere. The bare drive packaging means a compatible carrier is required for installation.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The host controller and backplane must support this exact protocol and speed for the drive to operate correctly. A mismatched interface will prevent the drive from being recognised or limit it to a lower transfer rate. Verify the system documentation for SAS 12Gb/s support before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.2TB SAS 12Gb/s drive work with my older 6Gb/s SAS controller?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS controllers, though it will run at the lower 6Gb/s transfer rate instead of its maximum 12Gb/s speed.

How can I verify the 10000 RPM drive is performing correctly after installation?

Check the drive's reported RPM and SAS link speed in your RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility; they should show 10000 RPM and a negotiated 12Gb/s or 6Gb/s link depending on your controller.

Does the bare drive include a mounting tray or caddy for my Dell server?

No, the drive ships as a bare 2.5" unit without a tray; you must supply a compatible Dell 2.5" drive caddy or tray separately.
