Server storage drive

The Toshiba MK2001TRKB is a 2 TB enterprise hard drive built for 3.5-inch server bays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB buffer and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The drive arrives erased to DoD 5220.22 M compliance and tested to at least 90 % health.

SAS 6Gb/s throughput limit

The SAS 6Gb/s link caps sustained transfer at the interface rate, so sequential workloads cannot exceed that bandwidth. Average seek time is 9.5 ms and average latency is 4.17 ms, which sets the floor for random-access response in multi-user environments.

Two terabyte capacity envelope

Two terabytes provides ample space for operating-system images, logs and moderate databases on a single spindle. Heavy archival workloads or large media libraries will fill the volume quickly, requiring additional drives or a higher-capacity model.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 2TB model or a different capacity for my server?

This drive is the 2TB version; choose it if you need exactly that capacity, otherwise select the capacity that matches your storage requirement.

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed deliver in a real server?

7200 RPM gives an average seek time of 9.5ms and average latency of 4.17ms for responsive random access in server workloads.

How does the SAS 6Gb/s interface affect actual throughput?

The SAS 6Gb/s interface provides a 6 gigabit per second link; real-world sustained transfer rates depend on the drive's 7200 RPM mechanics and 16MB cache.
