SKU CH-8VSB-W20NT

A 2 TB enterprise hard drive with a 7200 RPM spindle, 128 MB cache and SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface for bulk-data workloads

  • 2TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers responsive data access
  • 128MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SATA 6.0Gb/s interface provides high bandwidth connectivity
  • AES-256 encryption with FIPS 140-2 validation protects sensitive data

2 TB Enterprise SATA Drive

The Dell Constellation ES.3 is a 2 TB 3.5-inch hard drive built for continuous operation in servers and storage arrays. It connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 128 MB cache. The drive targets administrators who need high-capacity bulk storage for 24x7 workloads.

Sustained Workload Behaviour

Sixth-generation firmware and dual processors maintain consistent throughput during extended write sequences. Rotational vibration tolerance keeps performance stable when multiple drives operate in the same chassis. On-demand PowerChoice technology reduces consumption during idle periods without interrupting the data stream.

Thermals and Power Profile

Low power consumption and enhanced cooling efficiency limit heat output in normal use. Ramp load technology and a top-cover-attached motor reduce mechanical stress and acoustic noise. A humidity sensor adjusts operation to maintain reliability across varying environmental conditions.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Constellation ES.3 2TB draw and how hot does it run during 24x7 operation?

The drive uses low power consumption and on-demand PowerChoice technology based on T10/T13 standards for improved power and cooling efficiencies during continuous 24x7 operation.

Which interface and form factor must my system provide for this LFF SATA drive?

The drive requires a standard 3.5-inch large form factor bay and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface connection to function.

Will the 128MB cache and dual processors benefit my older SATA 3Gb/s controller?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s controllers, while the 128MB cache and dual processors maintain performance for bulk-data applications.
