SKU CH-4YVT-MZ1RW

A 2 TB 3.5-inch SAS hard drive spinning at 7200 rpm with a 12 Gb/s interface and hot-plug tray

  • 2 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers responsive performance
  • SAS 12 Gb/s interface enables fast data transfer
  • 512N sector format ensures broad compatibility
  • Hot-plug 3.5" tray allows drive swaps without downtime

2 TB SAS 12 Gb/s enterprise drive

This 2 TB mechanical hard disk spins at 7200 rpm and connects through a SAS interface running at 12 Gb/s. It uses a 512 native sector format and fits a standard 3.5 inch hot-plug bay with the supplied Dell Gen-13 tray. The unit weighs 170 grams and measures 8 by 2.25 by 4 inches.

Suits capacity-focused arrays needing 512n sectors

The drive is built for servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch SAS hot-plug disks and require 512 byte native formatting. Buyers who need a different sector size such as 512e or 4Kn should look at other models. Systems without SAS backplane support cannot use this drive.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS connection. Only controllers and backplanes that support this exact interface and speed will recognise the drive. Verify your chassis and controller documentation for SAS 12 Gb/s support before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my server have a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane for this drive?

The drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and fits a standard 3.5 inch hot-plug bay with the included Dell Gen-13 tray.

Will the 7200 rpm 512N format work with my existing 512e RAID array?

This model uses native 512-byte sectors (512N) at 7200 rpm; mixing 512N and 512e drives in the same virtual disk is not recommended.

How can I confirm the drive is recognised at 12 Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility — it should report a 12 Gb/s SAS link speed and 2 TB capacity for this device.
