  • 2 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7 200 RPM spindle speeds up read and write operations
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects directly to compatible PowerEdge servers
  • 64 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • Ships with a Dell caddy for tool-less installation in supported chassis

2 TB SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge servers

This 2 TB internal hard drive uses a 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB buffer. It ships with the R-series caddy required for direct installation into compatible Dell PowerEdge chassis. The drive is new and carries the original Dell part number 9YZ268-150.

Suited for capacity expansion in listed PowerEdge

It fits the R310, R320, R410, R415, R420, R510, R515, R520, R710, R720, R720xd, T310, T320, T410, T420, T610, T620 and T710. Builders needing a different interface, a smaller form factor or higher spindle speeds should look at other drives. The 2 TB limit also means it will not satisfy arrays that require larger individual volumes.

Steady throughput under continuous workloads

The 7200 RPM spindle and SAS interface deliver consistent sequential performance during sustained read or write operations. The 64 MB cache helps absorb burst I/O without throttling the media transfer rate. Mechanical latency remains constant, so throughput does not degrade after the initial fill phase.

Questions about this item

Does my server need a 3.5-inch SAS backplane and a 6 Gb/s SAS controller to run this 2 TB 7200 RPM drive?

Yes — the drive uses a 3.5" SAS 6 Gb/s interface, so the host must provide a matching backplane and controller.

Will this 2 TB SAS drive work in a PowerEdge R710 that already has 3 Gb/s SAS drives installed?

The drive is compatible with the R710 and will negotiate down to 3 Gb/s when paired with the older backplane.

How can I confirm the drive is healthy after installing it in a PowerEdge T620?

Run the Dell PERC or iDRAC diagnostics; they will report SMART status, 64 MB cache operation, and 7200 RPM spindle speed.
