Drive identity and audience

This is a new Dell EqualLogic 1 TB 7200 RPM SAS hard drive in a 3.5 inch form factor, supplied with the EqualLogic caddy. It is built for NearLine storage tiers in Dell EqualLogic arrays and compatible servers that take a 6 Gb/s SAS connection.

Who should consider it and who should not

The drive suits administrators adding capacity to an existing EqualLogic pool or replacing a failed NearLine spindle in a supported chassis. Buyers whose systems only accept a different physical interface or who need a higher rotational speed for transaction-heavy workloads should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The single specification that determines fit is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface combined with the Dell EqualLogic caddy; the controller and backplane must match this exact interface and tray format for the drive to be recognised and hot-swap correctly.

Questions about this item

What caddy or tray is included with the 3.5" SAS drive for mounting?

The drive ships with the EqualLogic caddy/tray shown in the supplier title, ready to slide into a compatible 3.5-inch bay.

Which way round does the EqualLogic caddy attach to the ST1000NM0023 before insertion?

Align the tray screw holes with the drive’s side holes, secure the four screws, then push the assembly straight into the bay until the latch clicks.

After how many operating hours should the NearLine 7200RPM drive be considered for replacement?

NearLine drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement when SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or after the manufacturer’s rated workload limit.
