Dell 1.2 TB 10K SAS drive for PowerEdge servers

This new 2.5 inch drive delivers 1.2 TB of storage at 10000 RPM over a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a kit qualified for PowerEdge R640, R740, R740XD, R940 and C6420 systems. The 10K spindle speed supports demanding enterprise workloads.

Suits SAS bays needing 10K speed.

Administrators who require 10K SAS performance in the listed Dell servers will find this drive a direct fit. Builders using backplanes or controllers that accept only SATA signalling cannot use this unit. Environments needing larger capacity or lower acoustic output should consider alternative drives.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive connects exclusively through a SAS 12Gb/s link, so the host backplane and controller must support that standard. A SATA-only port will not operate this device. Verify the server’s drive bay specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM SAS 12Gb/s drive generate during continuous all-day operation?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed and SAS 12Gb/s interface mean the drive produces more heat and audible seek noise than lower-speed SATA drives; ensure your server chassis provides adequate airflow for 2.5" bays.

What controller or backplane must my system already have to support the 12Gb/s SAS interface on this 2.5" drive?

You need a SAS controller or backplane that supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling; the drive will not work on SATA-only ports or older 6Gb/s SAS controllers without speed negotiation.

Will this 1.2TB 10K SAS drive work in a Dell PowerEdge R640 or R740 alongside existing 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS backplanes used in the R640 and R740; the drive will negotiate down to 6Gb/s when paired with older drives.
