A silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive mounted in a black Dell server tray

DELL ST2000NM0001 2TB 7200RPM SAS 64MB 3.5" internal hard drive with tray

SKU CH-YFSV-TZT9D

2 TB SAS hard drive spins at 7200 RPM with 64 MB cache and ships with a Dell R-series tray

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential throughput
  • 64 MB cache buffers frequent read/write operations
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects directly to RAID controllers
  • Includes 3.5" R-series tray for tool-less server installation

Capacity and interface

This 2 TB SAS hard drive spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 64 MB buffer. It is built for servers and workstations that need reliable bulk storage on a 6 Gb/s SAS bus. The tray lets it slide into Dell R-series drive bays without extra brackets.

Thermals noise and power

The drive runs at standard 3.5-inch enterprise speeds, so it generates measurable heat and audible seek noise under load. A server chassis with forced airflow keeps temperatures in check during continuous operation. Power draw follows typical SAS enterprise patterns for this capacity and spindle speed.

Build and daily use

The supplied R-series caddy locks the drive securely into hot-swap bays, simplifying replacement without tools. SAS connectors on the backplane handle both data and power through a single mating action. The 90-day warranty covers early-life failures in a new unit.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the R-series tray into my server bay and which way round does the SAS connector face?

Slide the supplied tray into the 3.5-inch bay until the latch clicks, making sure the SAS connector on the drive faces the backplane so the 6 Gb/s link seats correctly.

What part of this Constellation ES drive is most likely to need replacement after heavy use?

The mechanical spindle and actuator arms wear first; the 64 MB cache and SAS interface are solid-state and rarely fail.

At what point does the 7200 RPM spindle become the bottleneck during sustained writes?

Continuous streaming writes will saturate the 6 Gb/s SAS link before the 7200 RPM platters can accept more data.
