  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets

Dell Constellation ES.3 2 TB SAS drive

The Dell Constellation ES.3 ST2000NM0023 is a new 2000 GB enterprise-class internal hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gb/s interface with a 128 MB buffer. It ships with a Dell R-series caddy for direct installation in compatible PowerEdge servers. Zero-hour status confirms the mechanism has no prior run time.

Suits administrators expanding hot-swap arrays

This drive suits administrators who need a 2 TB SAS spindle for hot-swap bays in Dell PowerEdge platforms that accept 3.5 inch enterprise trays. It is not for systems that only accept 2.5 inch form-factor drives or that require a different drive interface. Buyers without a SAS backplane should look at other options.

SAS 6 Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gb/s interface; the server or storage enclosure must provide a matching SAS port and physical bay for the included R-series caddy. Without that specific interface the drive cannot be used.

Highlights

  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential throughput
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects directly to server backplanes
  • 128 MB cache buffers burst write workloads
  • 5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays

Questions about this item

Does this drive include the tray I need to mount it in a Dell PowerEdge server?

The listing says it ships with the R Series caddy so the drive can slide straight into a compatible PowerEdge bay.

Will a SAS 6 Gb/s controller recognise this 7200 RPM drive at full speed?

The drive uses the SAS 6 Gb/s interface, so any controller that supports that link rate will negotiate the full 6 Gb/s connection.

How can I confirm the drive really has zero hours after I install it?

Read the SMART power-on-hours attribute with a tool such as smartctl; a value of zero confirms the factory claim.
