DELL

DELL AL14SEB18EQY 1.8TB 10000RPM 12Gbps 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-PKF0-DNC54

Stores 1.8 TB on a 2.5 inch SAS drive spinning at 10000 RPM with 128 MB cache

  • 8 TB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 10000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction workloads
  • 12 Gb/s SAS interface delivers high-throughput connectivity
  • 128 MB cache buffers burst I/O operations
  • 5 inch hot-swap form factor enables tool-less drive replacement

Capacity and speed

This Dell enterprise drive delivers 1.8TB of storage on a 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000RPM with a 128MB buffer. It is built for hot-swap bays in servers and storage arrays that demand consistent throughput.

Suited for high-throughput arrays.

The 10000RPM spindle suits database volumes, virtualisation hosts and tiered storage pools where random I/O matters. Buyers needing silent operation, laptop upgrades or USB-attached backup should look elsewhere because the drive requires a SAS backplane and enterprise cooling.

Verify SAS controller and bay clearance

Confirm your controller or HBA supports 12Gb/s SAS and that the 2.5-inch hot-swap carrier matches your chassis tray. Check firmware compatibility lists for the array and ensure the power supply can sustain the spin-up current of multiple drives.

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane is required for the 12Gbps SAS interface on this drive?

A SAS controller or backplane that supports 12Gbps SAS is needed to connect the drive and achieve its rated interface speed.

Can this 12Gbps SAS drive operate in a chassis or controller limited to 6Gbps SAS?

Yes, the drive will negotiate down to 6Gbps SAS when connected to a 6Gbps controller or backplane, though maximum throughput will be limited to that speed.

How can I verify the drive is running at 10000RPM and 12Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or management utility; it should report the drive model AL14SEB18EQY with a 10000RPM spindle speed and a negotiated 12Gbps link rate.
