DELL

DELL 1 TB 2.5" SAS 7.2K 9W5WV internal hard drive

SKU CH-ZCT6-TC8QQ

A 1 TB 2.5-inch SAS drive spinning at 7.2K rpm for desktop storage arrays

  • 1 TB capacity for high-density storage
  • 5 inch form factor fits compact bays
  • SAS interface for enterprise reliability
  • 2K RPM spindle balances speed and power
  • Includes tray for direct server installation

Purpose-built SAS drive

The Dell 1 TB 2.5" SAS hard drive targets servers and storage arrays that require a 6 Gbit SAS link and a 7.2 K spindle. Its 9 W5WV part number and ST91000640SS mechanism identify it for compatible Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault bays.

Installation notes

The drive ships with a mounting tray so it drops straight into a hot-swap carrier; the SAS connector and power pins align without adapters. A common issue is inserting the tray into a backplane wired for SATA-only signalling, which leaves the drive invisible to the controller.

Capacity and headroom

One terabyte provides room for OS images, logs and modest databases on a single spindle. Workloads that demand sustained throughput above what a 7.2 K drive delivers or that need redundancy across multiple spindles will outgrow this unit.

Highlights

  • 1 TB capacity for high-density storage
  • 5 inch form factor fits compact bays
  • SAS interface for enterprise reliability
  • 2K RPM spindle balances speed and power
  • Includes tray for direct server installation

The drive ships with a 2.5" tray; cables, brackets and a SAS controller are not included and must be purchased separately.
