DELL ST1200MM0088 1.2TB 10K RPM 12Gb/s 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

1.2TB 10K RPM SAS enterprise drive

The Dell ST1200MM0088 is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 12Gb/s SAS interface. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-throughput, low-latency mechanical storage. The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor for hot-swap bays. It is sold new in OEM or retail packaging that may vary.

Suited for 10K SAS bays.

This drive suits administrators populating 2.5-inch SAS drive bays in Dell PowerEdge or compatible servers needing 10K performance. It will not work in systems that lack a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or controller. Buyers needing larger capacities or solid-state speeds should consider other enterprise media. Home PC builders without SAS infrastructure cannot use this drive.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. Your server or RAID controller must provide a native SAS 12Gb/s connection and 2.5-inch bay with appropriate cabling. Without a SAS host bus adapter or backplane, the drive cannot communicate or receive power. Verify the controller supports 12Gb/s SAS before purchase.
