Product Identity

This Dell enterprise hard drive delivers 2000GB of storage on a 3.5 inch SAS 12Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200RPM and ships new with a Gen13 PowerEdge caddy included. The drive is built for installation inside compatible Dell servers.

Fit and Alternatives

This drive suits administrators expanding capacity in listed Gen13 PowerEdge models such as the R230, R330, R430, R530, R630, R730, R730xd, R930, T330, T430 and T630. Buyers whose systems do not accept a 3.5 inch SAS drive or who require a different interface should look at something else.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface combined with the 3.5 inch form factor. Only servers equipped with a matching SAS backplane and a 3.5 inch bay can use this drive.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST2000NM0005 into a Dell PowerEdge R730 and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the included Gen13 caddy until the SAS connector seats firmly, then lock the caddy lever; the step often missed is fully engaging the lever so the drive registers on the 12Gb/s backplane.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST2000NM0005 need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the drive if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or if the 7200RPM mechanism develops unusual noise or vibration.

What limit appears first on the ST2000NM0005 during sustained write workloads?

The 7200RPM rotational speed caps sustained throughput well below the 12Gb/s SAS interface ceiling, so mechanical latency becomes the bottleneck first.
