2TB 7200 RPM SAS enterprise drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 2TB of capacity on a 12Gb/s SAS interface with a 128MB cache. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses conventional magnetic recording technology for consistent performance in 24x7 enterprise environments. The 512e sector format ensures broad compatibility with existing storage controllers and RAID configurations.

Replaces lower-capacity nearline SAS drives

The jump is worthwhile when workloads exceed 550TB per year and demand higher areal density in the same drive bay. Advanced write caching algorithms improve sustained throughput for bulk-data applications such as backup, archiving and media repositories. Dual processors and ramp-load technology maintain reliability under continuous multi-drive vibration.

Check controller and backplane compatibility

Verify that your SAS controller or HBA supports 12Gb/s speeds and 512e logical sector formatting. Confirm the 3.5-inch form factor fits the drive cage and that the 26.10mm height matches the bay specification. Ensure the system firmware recognises enterprise-class drives for optimal error recovery and SMART monitoring.

Questions about this item

What physical space does this 3.5-inch drive need to mount in a server chassis?

It fits a standard 3.5-inch bay measuring up to 147.00mm long, 101.85mm wide and 26.10mm high, matching the industry-standard form factor for enterprise drives.

How is the SAS 12Gb/s interface connected and what step is often missed?

Connect the dual-port SAS cable to the backplane or HBA; the common mistake is using a single-port cable, which disables multipath I/O and cuts throughput in half.

What component may need replacement after years of 24×7 operation?

The drive is rated for 550TB per year workloads; after extended service the mechanical assembly may reach its 2 million hour MTBF limit and require full unit replacement.
