Dell 2.4 TB 10K SAS SED FIPS Drive

This Dell 2.4 TB 10K SAS drive uses a 512e format and a 12 Gbps interface. It includes Self-Encrypting Drive technology with FIPS certification for data security. The 2.5 inch form factor fits compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. It is built for enterprise environments that require high-speed, protected storage.

Suited for Dell PowerEdge Servers and Arrays

This drive suits administrators deploying Dell PowerEdge servers such as the R740, R750 or R760 series. It also fits MD and ME storage arrays including the MD2424 and ME4024. It is not for buyers who need a larger capacity than 2.4 TB. It is not for systems that lack a 12 Gbps SAS backplane or controller.

12 Gbps SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 Gbps SAS interface. The host system must provide a matching SAS connection to operate this drive. Without that interface the drive cannot be installed or used. Verify the controller and backplane support this speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does this 2.5-inch SAS drive fit the 2.5-inch bays in a PowerEdge R740?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor matches the 2.5-inch drive bays used in the PowerEdge R740 and the other listed PowerEdge models.

What is the correct way to seat this SAS drive in a hot-swap tray so the 12Gbps link negotiates?

Slide the drive into the tray until the SAS connector fully engages the backplane; the tray latch must click shut or the link will stay at a lower speed.

When should the self-encrypting FIPS drive be replaced in a PowerEdge R740 array?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, the controller flags a predictive failure, or the FIPS module exceeds its rated write endurance.
