Enterprise storage upgrade

The DELL ST2000NM0005 is a 2000GB 3.5" internal hard drive built for enterprise workloads. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The package includes an R Series caddy for direct mounting in compatible drive bays.

Replaces slower or smaller SAS drives

This unit steps up from lower-capacity or lower-speed SAS disks when you need more space and sustained throughput for server or workstation arrays. The jump is worth it when your current drives limit volume size or cannot keep pace with 12Gb/s controller bandwidth.

Verify SAS backplane and caddy fit

Confirm that your system uses a 3.5" SAS 12Gb/s backplane and accepts the supplied R Series tray. Check that the controller supports 7200RPM enterprise drives and that power and cooling are adequate for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 3.5" SAS drive with included R Series caddy require in a drive bay?

The drive is a standard 3.5-inch form factor and ships with an R Series caddy, so it fits any bay that accepts a 3.5" SAS drive with that tray.

Which step is often missed when installing the ST2000NM0005 into a Dell server?

The 12 Gbps SAS interface needs a backplane or controller that supports 12 Gb/s; connecting it to a 6 Gb/s backplane will work but at the lower speed.

When should the 7200RPM enterprise drive be replaced in a RAID array?

Replace the drive if SMART attributes show reallocated sectors, seek errors, or if the array controller flags it as degraded during patrol reads.
