Dell 500 GB SAS hard drive
This Dell R734K is a 500 GB internal hard drive with a 7.2k RPM spindle speed and a 6 Gbps SAS interface. It comes in a 2.5 inch form factor and includes a mounting caddy for direct installation in compatible bays. The drive is supplied new and carries the manufacturer part number 0R734K.
For SAS-based storage arrays
This drive suits servers or storage enclosures that accept 2.5 inch SAS drives and require 500 GB of capacity at 7.2k RPM. Buyers whose systems only support a different physical interface or form factor should look at other options. The included caddy simplifies fitting into Dell drive bays designed for this form factor.
6 Gbps SAS interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6 Gbps SAS interface combined with the 2.5 inch form factor. A system must provide a SAS backplane or controller and a 2.5 inch drive bay to use this drive. If the host only offers a different interface, this drive will not function.
Highlights
- 500 GB capacity stores large datasets
- 2k RPM spindle delivers consistent throughput
- 6 Gbps SAS interface enables fast data transfer
- 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays
- Included caddy simplifies installation in Dell chassis

Questions about this item
How does the 7.2k RPM rotation speed limit sustained throughput on this 500 GB SAS drive?
The 7.2k RPM spindle sets a mechanical ceiling on sequential transfer rates, so long reads or writes will plateau at the drive's maximum sustained speed before the 6 Gbps SAS link saturates.
What noise, heat or power behaviour should I expect when this 2.5" SAS drive runs continuously?
A 7.2k RPM 2.5" SAS drive typically produces moderate audible seek noise, modest heat output and steady power draw well within standard server bay cooling and power budgets.
What must my system already provide for this 2.5" SAS drive with caddy to work?
The system needs a free 2.5" drive bay, a SAS backplane or controller with a 6 Gbps SAS port, and the matching power connector for the drive and included caddy.
