Dell 9W5WV 1TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 9W5WV is a 1TB internal hard drive built for server and storage workloads. It uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface in a 2.5 inch form factor and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive ships new and is suited for enterprise environments that require reliable mechanical storage. ||

Ideal for Server Storage Arrays

This drive suits administrators expanding SAS-based storage arrays or replacing failed drives in compatible Dell servers and enclosures. The 64MB cache and 4.16ms average latency support consistent random access performance. Buyers who need solid-state speed or larger single-drive capacities should consider other media. ||

SAS 6Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility

The SAS 6Gb/s interface is the single specification that decides whether this drive fits the target system. A compatible SAS controller or backplane is required for operation. Verify that the host hardware supports 2.5 inch SAS drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

What host interface must my server or controller provide for the 9W5WV drive to operate?

The drive requires a SAS 6Gb/s port; connect it to a compatible SAS backplane or HBA that supports that link speed.

Will the 2.5" 9W5WV fit in the same drive bays as my existing 3.5" SAS drives?

No, the 2.5" form factor needs a 2.5" bay or a 3.5-to-2.5 adapter; it cannot mount directly in a 3.5" sled.

How can I verify the 9W5WV is running at its rated 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS or OS utilities such as smartctl; it should show 7200 RPM.
