2.4 TB SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge 14G servers

This 2.4 TB SAS hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a 12 Gb/s interface. It is built as a 2.5 inch form factor kit for Dell PowerEdge R640, R740 and R740XD systems. The drive suits environments that need high-capacity, high-speed storage in a compact bay.

Installation fits 2.5 inch hot-swap bays

The kit includes the carrier required for tool-less insertion into the supported PowerEdge chassis. Alignment pins on the tray must match the backplane slots or the drive will not seat. A missing or damaged tray is the most common reason a replacement drive fails to be recognised.

SAS 12 Gb/s link speed caps throughput on older

The drive negotiates down to 6 Gb/s when connected to a 6 Gb/s backplane or HBA, reducing sustained transfer rates. It cannot operate on SATA-only controllers despite the 2.5 inch SATA form factor. Maximum usable capacity is the stated 2.4 TB with no over-provisioning headroom disclosed.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 2.4TB SAS drive is recognised at 12Gb/s after installing it in a PowerEdge R740?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or iDRAC storage inventory; the drive should appear as a 2.4TB device with a negotiated link speed of 12Gb/s and show 10000 RPM in the physical disk properties.

Does the 14G kit for the R640 include a 2.5" hot-plug carrier or must I order one separately?

The 14G kit ships with the 2.5" hot-plug carrier installed on the drive, so no separate tray is required for PowerEdge R640, R740 or R740XD bays.

Should I choose the 2.4TB 10K SAS model or a lower-capacity 10K SAS drive for a PowerEdge R740XD array?

Select the 2.4TB model when you need maximum raw capacity per bay at 10000 RPM; choose a smaller 10K SAS drive only if your array budget or usable-space calculation favours a lower-capacity spindle.
