Dell 342-2100 2TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 342-2100 is a 2TB 3.5" internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It arrives as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray included. The unit is designed for near-line server storage workloads.

Suited for SAS server bays only

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5" SAS drives and provide a hot-swap backplane. It is not suitable for systems that lack a SAS controller or hot-swap bays. Buyers needing a different interface or form factor should look elsewhere.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6Gb/s drive interface. Your host controller or backplane must support this exact standard for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

What does 7200 RPM mean for actual throughput in a server?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers sustained sequential throughput suitable for near-line workloads such as backup, archival and bulk storage in a server.

What does the 6Gb/s SAS interface cap at in real use?

The SAS 6Gb/s interface limits the maximum bus transfer rate to six gigabits per second, which is the practical ceiling for this drive.

Will the 3.5" form factor and hot-swap tray fit my Dell server bay?

The drive uses a standard 3.5 inch form factor and ships with a hot-swap tray designed for compatible Dell server drive bays.
