900GB SAS 10K Server Drive
This new Dell FR83F is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface, 10000 RPM spindle speed and 900GB capacity. It ships with a hot-swap tray and a 64MB buffer, making it a direct replacement part for compatible PowerEdge and PowerVault servers.
Ideal for Server Storage Upgrades
The drive suits administrators expanding or repairing Dell server arrays that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives with hot-swap trays. It is not for desktop PCs or laptops that lack SAS controllers and 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, nor for workloads that demand solid-state latency or larger single-drive capacities.
SAS 6Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility
The single specification that decides fitment is the Serial Attached SCSI 6Gb/s interface; the host backplane and controller must support this exact protocol. Without a matching SAS connection the drive will not function, regardless of physical tray dimensions.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.5 inch SAS drive ship with the hot-swap tray needed for a PowerEdge bay?
Yes, the FR83F includes a Dell hot-swap tray so the 900 GB drive slides straight into a 2.5 inch SAS bay without extra hardware.
What is the correct way to seat the SAS connector on the FR83F during installation?
Align the drive with the bay rails, push firmly until the SAS connector clicks into the backplane, then close the tray lever to lock it in place.
How often should the 64 MB buffer and SLC NAND drive be checked for predictive failure in a 10000 RPM server workload?
Run SMART monitoring monthly; the 64 MB buffer and SLC NAND are built for high write endurance, but regular health scans catch early sector degradation.
