3TB SAS Hard Drive for Enterprise Storage

This Dell ST33000650SS provides 3TB of nearline storage in a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200RPM with a 64MB buffer and connects via a 6Gbps SAS interface. The drive ships new and includes a Dell COMPELLENT caddy for hot-swap installation.

Verify SAS Controller and Bay Compatibility

Confirm your server or array has a free 3.5 inch SAS bay and a controller that supports 6Gbps SAS links. The included caddy fits Dell COMPELLENT systems; other chassis may need a different carrier. Ensure firmware and backplane power budgets accept an additional nearline drive.

Suits Capacity-Focused Arrays Not Speed-Critical

This drive suits administrators expanding bulk storage in compatible Dell COMPELLENT enclosures. Buyers needing lower latency or higher IOPS for transactional databases should consider faster media. Systems without SAS infrastructure cannot use this drive.

Questions about this item

Does the drive come with the Dell COMPELLENT caddy or tray, or must that be purchased separately?

The listing includes the Dell COMPELLENT caddy/tray with the 3TB 7200RPM SAS drive.

Is the 64MB cache version the only one available for this 3TB model?

The supplied facts show a single 3TB unit with 64MB buffer and 6Gb/s SAS interface.

How does the 7200RPM spindle speed affect real-world throughput on a 6Gb/s SAS connection?

The 7200RPM rotation sets the mechanical sustained transfer ceiling; the 6Gb/s SAS link provides headroom above that limit.
