2TB 7200 RPM SAS drive
This 3.5 inch internal hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface and spins at 7200 RPM. It offers 2TB of capacity and a 6Gb/s average latency. The unit is supplied as a bare drive in new condition.
Server storage upgrade
The drive suits server builds that need a 6Gbps SAS connection and a 3.5 inch form factor. It is not for systems that only provide SATA ports. It is not for laptops or small-form-factor devices that require 2.5 inch bays.
6Gbps SAS interface
Compatibility depends on a controller or backplane that supports Serial Attached SCSI at 6Gb/s. The drive will not operate on a SATA-only host. Verify the system accepts 3.5 inch SAS devices before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 90Y8572 2TB SAS drive work in my older server that only has 3Gb/s SAS backplanes?
The drive runs at 6Gb/s SAS and will negotiate down to 3Gb/s on an older backplane, so it will function but at the slower link speed.
How can I confirm the 90Y8572 is running at its full 7200 RPM and 6Gb/s link after installation?
Check the controller BIOS or RAID utility — it should report the drive model 90Y8572, 2TB capacity, 7200 RPM and a negotiated 6Gb/s SAS link rate.
The 90Y8572 is listed as bare drive — does it ship with a hot-swap tray or mounting screws for a 3.5" bay?
No, the bare-drive packaging includes only the drive itself; a compatible 3.5" hot-swap tray and any mounting screws must be purchased separately.
