Dell PPN1Y 6TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell PPN1Y is a new 6TB nearline SAS hard drive built for 3.5-inch bays. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 6Gb/s SAS interface. The unit ships with a tray for direct installation in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. SLC NAND flash memory supports the drive's internal operations.

Suited for server storage arrays

This drive suits administrators expanding storage in Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives with a tray. Buyers needing a different physical size, a faster spindle speed or a non-SAS interface should look at other models. The 5.1 weight figure and tray inclusion point to a specific server chassis fit. Retail or OEM packaging may vary.

SAS 6Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5-inch form factor and included tray. Only systems with a matching SAS backplane and drive bay will accept this unit. Verify the server manual for supported drive types before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a SAS 6Gb/s backplane or controller to use this 6TB 7200 RPM drive?

Yes, the drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface and requires a compatible SAS backplane or controller in the server or workstation.

Can this 3.5 inch Nearline SAS drive share a backplane with older 3Gb/s SAS drives?

The drive operates at 6Gb/s SAS; it will negotiate down to 3Gb/s on an older backplane but runs at the lower speed.

How do I confirm the 6TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed are recognised after installation?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or operating system disk utility; both should report 6TB capacity and 7200 RPM for the PPN1Y drive.
