DELL 342-0450 1TB SAS 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 3.5" internal hard drive

Dell 342-0450 1TB SAS drive

This is a 1TB internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It uses a 3.5-inch form factor and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is designed for near-line storage workloads in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems.

Suited for server storage upgrades

This drive fits administrators expanding capacity in listed Dell PowerEdge 2900, 2970, R300, R900, R905 or T300 servers and PowerVault MD1000, MD3000 or MD3000i arrays. It is not for systems that lack a SAS backplane or controller, nor for users who need a drive with a different physical interface.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides fit

The drive communicates over a 6Gb/s SAS connection, so the host must provide a compatible SAS port and backplane. Without that specific interface the drive cannot be installed or used.
