Dell 1.8 TB 10K SAS drive

This new Dell internal hard drive delivers 1.8 TB of storage on a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface with a 128 MB buffer. The unit weighs 1.0 pound and carries the manufacturer part numbers AL14SEB18EQY and HDEBJ40DAB51.

Suited for servers and storage arrays needing 10K

This drive fits systems that accept a 2.5 inch SAS device running at 12Gb/s. Buyers who require a different physical size or a slower spindle speed should consider other options. Builders without a compatible SAS backplane or controller cannot use this unit.

Deciding specification: SAS 12Gb/s interface

The SAS 12Gb/s interface determines whether the drive matches your controller and backplane. Verify that your hardware supports this exact connection before purchasing. The 10000 RPM rotational speed and 1.8 TB capacity are secondary factors once interface compatibility is confirmed.

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane do I need for the 12 Gb/s SAS interface on this drive?

A SAS controller or backplane that supports 12 Gb/s SAS is required for the 2.5-inch drive to operate at its rated speed.

Will the 10,000 RPM spindle speed cause compatibility issues with older 6 Gb/s SAS enclosures?

The drive will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s on an older SAS enclosure, but sustained throughput will be limited to that slower link rate.

How can I confirm the 128 MB cache is active after installation?

Check the drive's reported cache size in the RAID controller BIOS or operating system device properties to verify the 128 MB buffer is recognised.
