Dell YG2KH 10TB SAS Drive

This Dell YG2KH drive provides 10TB of storage for servers and storage arrays that use a SAS interface. The 7200 RPM spindle speed supports mixed read and write workloads in enterprise environments. It fits 2.5 inch hot-swap bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems.

Sustained Workload Behaviour

The 12Gb/s SAS link maintains consistent throughput during extended operations without the bursts seen in consumer interfaces. 7200 RPM rotational speed delivers steady random and sequential performance for databases and virtualisation. The 4Kn sector format improves efficiency for large-capacity deployments.

Thermals Noise And Power

Standard 3.5 inch hard drive mechanics produce typical acoustic output for a 7200 RPM enterprise spindle. Power draw scales with active I/O and idle states in line with SAS specifications. Hot-swap tray design allows replacement without shutting down the chassis airflow.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 10TB 7200 RPM SAS drive generate during continuous operation?

The 7200 RPM spindle and 12Gb/s SAS interface produce typical enterprise-level acoustics and thermal output; expect audible seek noise and a warm chassis under sustained workloads.

What controller or backplane must I already have to run this 2.5" 12Gb/s SAS drive?

A SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with 12Gb/s ports, plus a 2.5" hot-swap backplane or caddy that accepts SAS connectors.

Will this 12Gb/s SAS drive work in my older 6Gb/s SAS server such as a T430 or R730?

Yes, the drive negotiates down to 6Gb/s on legacy backplanes in T430, T630, R730, R730xd or MD1400 systems.
