2TB Hot-Swap Drive
This 3.5-inch internal hard drive provides 2TB of storage with a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It is built for hot-swap bays in compatible servers and storage arrays. The nearline design targets workloads that demand a balance of capacity and sustained throughput. Condition is new from the supplier.
Suited for RAID and Nearline Storage
The drive fits administrators expanding nearline SATA arrays or populating hot-swap chassis that accept 3.5-inch trays. Buyers needing 2.5-inch form factors, SAS interfaces, or speeds of 10000 and 15000 RPM should select a different model. Systems without hot-swap backplanes cannot use the tray mechanism.
SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility
The 6.0Gb/s SATA link sets the maximum data rate and dictates which controllers and backplanes can support the drive. Verify that the host adapter and backplane both operate at this transfer rate to achieve rated performance. The 3.5-inch hot-swap tray requires a matching bay.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the drive is recognised at 6.0Gb/s SATA speed after installation?
Check the BIOS or operating-system disk utility; it should report a SATA 6.0Gb/s link and show the full 2TB capacity with 7200 RPM operation.
What ships with the 81Y9794 and what must I source separately?
The bare 3.5-inch hot-swap drive is included; a compatible hot-swap tray or caddy for your server chassis and SATA data and power cables are not supplied.
Which capacity from the 7.2K 6Gb/s nearline SATA line should I pick for a RAID array needing maximum space per bay?
The 3 TB model provides the highest capacity per 3.5-inch bay in this 7200 RPM 6.0Gb/s nearline SATA family.
