Server storage drive
This 2 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive uses a Near Line SAS interface and spins at 7200 rpm. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and MD PowerVault arrays. The drive is new and factory sealed.
Capacity and headroom
Two terabytes provide room for operating system images, application data and bulk file storage on a single spindle. The 7200 rpm speed supports steady sequential throughput for backup and archival workloads. Random I/O intensive databases will hit the mechanical limits of a single drive.
SAS interface limits
The 6 Gb/s SAS link caps maximum transfer rate at the interface level. Near Line SAS firmware prioritises capacity over the sustained write performance of enterprise SAS models. The drive fits only systems with 3.5 inch SAS backplanes and compatible controllers.

Questions about this item
Will this 2 TB 7200 rpm NL-SAS drive work in my existing Dell PowerEdge server backplane?
The drive uses a 6 Gb/s SAS interface and a 3.5 inch form factor, matching the backplane slots in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and MD PowerVault arrays.
How can I verify the drive is recognised and healthy after installation?
Check the server RAID controller BIOS or iDRAC interface; the drive should appear as a 2 TB NL-SAS device spinning at 7200 rpm with no SMART errors reported.
Does the 342-0898 ship with a mounting tray or caddy for a 3.5 inch bay?
The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5 inch internal mechanism; a Dell hot-plug caddy or tray for your specific PowerEdge or PowerVault chassis must be purchased separately.
