DELL FNW88 ST1000NM0023 1TB 7200RPM SAS 6Gb/s 128MB 3.5" internal hard drive ZERO HOURS

Dell 1 TB SAS enterprise drive

The Dell FNW88 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with 1 TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. It ships new with zero hours and includes an R-series caddy for compatible Dell chassis. The 128 MB cache supports sustained throughput in multi-drive arrays.

Suited for SAS servers and arrays

This drive fits servers and storage enclosures that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives and provide the matching backplane or controller. It is not for systems that lack a SAS host bus adapter or that only offer 2.5-inch bays. Builders needing higher capacity or a different form factor should consider other models.

6 Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface; the drive must connect to a SAS controller or backplane that supports this speed. Without that connection the drive cannot be used, regardless of capacity or spindle speed.
