DELL 6WCT7 1.2TB 2.5" SAS 10K 12Gb/s internal hard drive

Dell 6WCT7 1.2TB SAS drive

The Dell 6WCT7 is a 1.2TB internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays and servers. It uses a 2.5-inch form factor with a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s. A spindle speed of 10000 RPM supports demanding read and write workloads. The bare drive ships without a tray and is supplied in new condition.

Suited for hot-swap bays and high-throughput arrays

This drive fits 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in Dell PowerEdge and compatible chassis. It serves databases, virtualisation hosts and transaction-heavy applications that benefit from 10K RPM latency. Systems limited to 6Gb/s SAS backplanes will operate at the lower link rate. Buyers needing larger capacity per spindle or solid-state endurance should evaluate alternative media.

12Gb/s SAS interface sets controller compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The drive requires a controller or backplane that supports this signalling rate to achieve full throughput. A 6Gb/s-only host will limit performance to the slower speed. Verify the host bus adapter and backplane generation before purchase.
