2 TB SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge

This 2 TB SAS hard drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible storage arrays. It uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface and spins at 7.2k RPM with 512e formatting. The drive is new and firmware updated.

Replaces lower-capacity SAS drives

The drive upgrades from smaller SAS disks when more capacity is needed in the same bay. The jump is worth it when workloads demand higher sequential throughput and the server backplane supports 12 Gbps SAS.

Verify SAS backplane and caddy

Confirm the server has a 12 Gbps SAS backplane and the correct 3.5-inch drive caddy for the specific PowerEdge model. Ensure the RAID controller or HBA supports 512e sector formatting before installation.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5-inch SAS drive fit the standard drive bays in a Dell PowerEdge R740?

Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor matches the hot-plug bays used in the R740 and other listed PowerEdge servers.

What is the common installation mistake when adding this SAS drive to a Dell PowerEdge server?

Inserting the drive without fully seating the carrier handle so the SAS connector does not engage with the backplane.

How often should the 7.2k RPM SAS drive be replaced in a typical server workload?

Plan replacement after five years or when SMART attributes report reallocated sectors, whichever comes first.
