A 3.5 inch hard drive mounted in a black plastic caddy with a handle

DELL

DELL 1P7DP 2TB NL SAS 7.2K 6GBPS 3.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-AVTH-SC829

2 TB nearline SAS drive spins at 7.2 K rpm with a 6 Gbps interface and ships in a 3.5" hot-plug caddy

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 2K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface connects to compatible controllers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Supplied in a hot-plug caddy for tool-less installation

Nearline SAS drive for Dell arrays

This 2 TB nearline SAS drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch hot-plug bays. It targets administrators who need cost-effective bulk capacity for backup, archiving or secondary workloads rather than low-latency primary storage.

Supplied caddy enables hot-plug swaps

The drive ships mounted in a Dell 35 caddy so it slides directly into a compatible bay without extra brackets or screws. That mechanical kit is what lets technicians replace a failed disk while the system stays online, provided the chassis and controller support hot-plug operation.

6 Gbit SAS link and 7.2 K RPM spindle

The SAS interface runs at 6 Gbit per second, so throughput is bounded by that link speed and the 7.2 K rotational speed. Workloads demanding sustained high IOPS or sub-millisecond latency will hit the physical limits of nearline media and the 6 Gbit ceiling.

Highlights

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 2K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface connects to compatible controllers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays

Questions about this item

When will the 2TB nearline SAS drive need replacement?

Replace the drive when SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or when the drive exceeds its rated workload limit.

What limits sustained write performance on the 7.2K RPM SAS drive?

The 7.2K RPM spindle speed and 6Gbps SAS interface cap sustained throughput before thermal throttling occurs.

How much heat and noise does the 3.5" SAS drive produce under all-day load?

The 3.5" nearline drive generates typical enterprise heat and audible seek noise during continuous operation.
