2 TB 12 Gb/s SAS HDD with caddy

This Dell enterprise hard drive delivers 2000 GB of storage on a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface with a 128 MB buffer. The package includes an R Series caddy for direct installation in compatible Dell servers or storage arrays.

Suits SAS-based servers needing 2 TB capacity

The drive fits administrators expanding or replacing drives in systems that accept 12 Gb/s SAS 3.5 inch units with the supplied tray. Buyers whose infrastructure requires a different interface speed or physical connector should look at other options. The 90 day warranty period also makes it less suitable for environments demanding longer vendor coverage.

12 Gb/s SAS interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS connection paired with the included R Series caddy. Controllers and backplanes must support this exact interface and tray format for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5-inch SAS drive and its included R Series caddy fit a standard 3.5-inch drive bay?

Yes, the drive is a 3.5-inch form factor and ships with an R Series caddy designed for standard 3.5-inch bays in compatible Dell servers and storage arrays.

How do I install the drive into the supplied R Series caddy, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the caddy until the SAS connector seats firmly on the backplane, then secure the side screws; the step often missed is not fully engaging the connector before tightening the screws.

When should I expect to replace the 2TB 7200RPM SAS drive in a typical server workload?

Enterprise drives like this 7200RPM SAS model are rated for continuous operation; monitor SMART attributes and replace once reallocated sectors or pending sector counts begin to rise.
