Capacity and interface
The Dell YY34F is a 2TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 32MB buffer for server workloads. The bare-drive packaging means it arrives without a retail box or cables.
Server builders and storage expanders
This drive suits administrators adding nearline capacity to PowerVault arrays or other SAS-attached enclosures. Desktop users without a SAS host bus adapter or compatible backplane should look elsewhere, as the interface is not compatible with standard consumer motherboards.
SAS 6Gb/s connectivity
The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface, which requires a matching controller or backplane. Without that link the drive cannot be used, regardless of its 2TB capacity or 7200 RPM speed.

Questions about this item
What real-world throughput does the 7200 RPM speed deliver inside a server?
The 7200 RPM platters with a 32 MB buffer provide sustained transfer rates suited for server workloads such as logging, backup and nearline storage.
What does the SAS 6Gb/s interface limit in a live system?
The SAS 6Gb/s interface sets the maximum link speed between the drive and the controller, capping burst transfers at the interface rate.
Will this 3.5 inch drive fit a standard server bay with the supplied tray?
The 3.5 inch form factor matches standard server drive bays and the included tray secures it in Dell PowerVault chassis.
