DELL 36RH9 1.2TB 10000RPM SAS 2.5" internal hard drive

Dell 36RH9 1.2TB SAS drive for servers

This Dell 36RH9 is a 1.2TB 10000 RPM SAS hard drive in a 2.5 inch form factor built for Dell PowerEdge servers. It suits administrators who need high-speed spindle storage in hot-swap bays for transactional workloads or database logging. The drive is new and ships in retail or OEM packaging.

SAS 6Gb/s interface limits sustained throughput

The drive uses a SAS interface standard rated at 6Gb/s which caps the maximum sustained transfer rate well below modern solid-state alternatives. Random I/O performance is constrained by the 10000 RPM spindle speed and mechanical seek latency. Workloads that demand consistent sub-millisecond latency or sequential bandwidth above the interface ceiling will hit a hard ceiling.

Hot-swap 2.5 inch tray fits listed PowerEdge models

The 2.5 inch form factor mounts directly into hot-swap trays on the compatible PowerEdge servers listed in the specifications including the M610 R620 R730 and T630 families. Hot-swap support allows drive replacement without powering down the chassis reducing downtime during maintenance. Buyers who need larger capacities or non-Dell chassis should verify tray and backplane compatibility before purchase.
