  • 2TB capacity stores large datasets

Dell 2 TB SAS hard drive for nearline storage

The Dell MG04SCA60EE is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for nearline workloads. It delivers 2 TB of capacity over a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive uses a 512e sector format and ships with an R Series caddy for hot-swap bays.

Installation notes for hot-swap bays

The included caddy slides directly into compatible Dell PowerEdge R-series drive bays without tools. Ensure the backplane supports 12 Gb/s SAS and that the controller recognises 512e sector emulation. A mismatched backplane or older controller firmware can prevent the drive from being detected.

Capacity and workload limits

At 2000 GB the drive suits bulk storage, backup targets and archival duties where sequential throughput matters more than random IOPS. The 7200 RPM spindle provides steady streaming performance but lacks the low latency required for heavy transactional databases or high-IOPS virtualisation workloads.

Highlights

  • 7200RPM spindle delivers responsive throughput
  • 12Gb/s SAS interface enables fast host transfers
  • Hot-swap tray simplifies drive replacement

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the drive is running at the rated 7200 RPM and 12Gb/s SAS link speed after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed and negotiated link rate in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system disk utility; they should show 7200 RPM and a 12Gb/s SAS connection.

The listing mentions an R Series caddy or tray — does the package include anything else such as cables or mounting screws?

The drive ships with the R Series caddy or tray installed; SAS data and power cables plus any additional mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.

This model is listed as a single 2000GB capacity — are there other capacity versions of the MG04SCA60EE I should consider?

MG04SCA60EE is the specific 2000GB model number; other capacities carry different model numbers and are not part of this SKU.
