1 TB enterprise hard drive
This Dell FNW88 is a 1 TB Nearline SAS hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The 3.5 inch bare drive is sold in refurbished condition.
Suits servers, not laptops
The SAS interface and 3.5 inch form factor require a compatible backplane or controller, so it fits rack servers and storage enclosures. Builders working on laptops, desktops without SAS ports, or small-form-factor cases should look elsewhere.
Nearline SAS 6 Gb/s interface
The single specification that decides fit is the Nearline SAS 6 Gb/s connection. Your system must provide a SAS controller or backplane that supports this link speed, otherwise the drive cannot communicate.
