Enterprise 1.2 TB SAS drive

The Dell WXPCX is a 1.2 TB 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that require a SAS 12 Gb/s interface. Its 10 000 RPM spindle and 64 MB cache suit workloads such as databases, virtualization hosts and logging tiers.

Capacity and headroom

The 1.2 TB capacity provides room for multiple virtual machines, transaction logs or backup sets on a single spindle. Performance scales with queue depth, so very heavy random write streams will saturate the drive before larger or solid-state alternatives.

Thermals, noise and power

Enterprise 10 000 RPM drives run warmer and louder than nearline or desktop models, so adequate chassis airflow is required. Power draw rises during seek-heavy workloads, and the hot-swap carrier allows replacement without shutting down the array.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 Gb/s SAS interface of the WXPCX work with my existing 6 Gb/s SAS backplane?

The drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface that is backward-compatible with 6 Gb/s SAS backplanes, so it will operate at the lower speed without extra configuration.

How can I confirm the 10 000 RPM enterprise drive is running correctly after installation?

Check the system BIOS or RAID controller for the WXPCX model name, 1.2 TB capacity and 10 000 RPM speed, then run a SMART health scan to verify zero reallocated sectors.

Does the WXPCX ship with a drive caddy or mounting screws for a 2.5 inch bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5 inch unit; any hot-swap caddy, tray or mounting screws required by your chassis must be purchased separately.
