Dell 342-3812 SAS SED Server Drive
This Dell 342-3812 is a 1TB self-encrypting SAS hard drive built for 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes the carrier tray required for Dell PowerEdge servers. The drive uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface and delivers nearline capacity with hardware-based encryption.
Suits Encrypted Nearline Server Storage
Administrators who need FIPS-ready self-encryption and hot-swap convenience in a 2.5-inch form factor will find this drive fits directly into compatible PowerEdge chassis. Buyers who require a non-encrypting drive or a different interface protocol should look at other options.
7200 RPM SAS 6Gb/s Interface Decides Fit
The 7200 RPM spindle speed combined with the 6Gb/s SAS interface determines whether the drive matches the performance tier and backplane of the target server. Verify that the system supports SAS nearline drives before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the Dell 342-3812 include the hot-swap tray or must I order it separately?
The drive ships with the hot-swap tray included, so no separate caddy purchase is required for installation in a compatible bay.
How do I decide between the 7.2K nearline SAS 6Gb/s SED and another capacity in this same form factor?
Choose the 1 TB 7200 RPM model when you need encrypted nearline capacity for bulk storage in a PowerEdge server; select a different capacity only if your dataset size or budget demands it.
What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for actual throughput once the drive is in a server?
At 7200 RPM the drive delivers nearline SAS 6Gb/s sequential speeds suitable for bulk reads and writes, while the self-encrypting hardware handles encryption without host CPU overhead.
