Dell 2TB SAS 2.5" Hard Drive

This Dell 2TB SAS hard drive operates at 7200 RPM with a 128MB cache and 512e sector format. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and includes a tray for Dell EMC MD14xx storage enclosures. The drive delivers 12Gb/s SAS interface performance for compatible storage systems.

Suited for Dell EMC storage arrays

This drive fits administrators expanding Dell EMC MD14xx enclosures that require 12Gb/s SAS 2.5 inch drives. Buyers needing a different interface protocol or a 3.5 inch form factor should look at other products. The 512e format suits environments using that sector size.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your storage controller and backplane must support this exact SAS speed and connector type. Without matching SAS infrastructure the drive cannot function in the target enclosure.
