Dell 2 TB Nearline SAS drive
This Dell R7FKF is a 3.5 inch Nearline SAS hard drive with a 2 TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and ships as a bare drive with hot-swap tray support. The unit is new and supplied in original Dell packaging.
Suitable for servers needing hot-swap SAS storage
This drive suits administrators expanding a Dell PowerEdge or compatible server that accepts 3.5 inch Nearline SAS drives with hot-swap trays. It is not for laptops, small-form-factor desktops or any chassis limited to 2.5 inch bays. It is also not for systems whose backplane or controller only supports lower SAS link speeds.
12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface; the host controller and backplane must negotiate at that rate for full performance. Verify the server’s drive bay count, tray type and firmware support before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I pick the right version of the R7FKF drive for my server?
The R7FKF is offered as a single 2TB 3.5" Nearline SAS 7.2K 12Gb/s model, so choose this part number when you need that exact capacity and form factor.
What does the 12Gb/s transfer rate mean once the drive is installed?
The 12Gb/s figure is the SAS interface ceiling; real-world throughput will be lower and limited by the 7200 RPM mechanical speed and the host controller.
Which SAS interface standard does this drive use and what does it cap in practice?
It uses a Nearline SAS interface rated at 12Gb/s, which caps the maximum bus bandwidth; actual sustained transfer is governed by the 7200 RPM spindle.
