Enterprise SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge servers
This 3.5-inch hard drive delivers 2 TB of storage over a 12 Gb/s SAS interface spinning at 7.2K RPM. It ships with a caddy that fits directly into Dell PowerEdge R730 and R740 chassis. The unit is pulled from working systems, tested and sold as new condition.
Two terabytes on a 12 Gb/s SAS link
The 2 TB capacity suits bulk data, backup targets and near-line workloads that benefit from the 12 Gb/s throughput. Sequential throughput and random IOPS are bounded by the 7.2K spindle speed, so latency-sensitive databases or high-IOPS virtualisation will saturate the drive before the interface.
Direct fit for R730 and R740 bays
The included caddy removes the need for a separate tray purchase and matches the drive-bay latch mechanism of the R730 and R740. A SAS backplane or HBA capable of 12 Gb/s is required to use the full interface speed; older 6 Gb/s controllers will operate the drive at the lower rate.

Questions about this item
Will the 12G SAS interface on this HHX14 drive work with the 6G backplane in my older R730?
Yes, the 12G SAS drive is backward compatible with 6G backplanes and will negotiate the highest speed both sides support.
How can I verify the 7.2K spindle speed and 2TB capacity are recognised correctly after installation?
Check the drive details in the RAID controller BIOS or the operating system disk utility; both should report 2TB and 7.2K RPM.
Does the included caddy fit the 3.5-inch drive bays in a Dell R740 without extra parts?
The supplied caddy is designed for the 3.5-inch bays in R730 and R740 servers, so no additional bracket is needed.
