Dell 1TB SATA 7.2K 3.5″ 6Gbps HDD, 14G Server Drive

The Dell 1TB SATA 7.2K 3.5″ 6Gbps HDD, 14G Server Drive is a reliable and high-capacity storage solution designed for Dell PowerEdge 14G servers and other compatible systems. With a substantial 1TB of storage capacity, this hard drive provides ample space for a wide range of data and applications, making it ideal for general-purpose computing, data storage, and server environments.

Operating at 7,200 RPM, the drive offers a balance of performance and efficiency with an average latency of 4.17 ms, suitable for tasks that do not require the high-speed performance of higher-RPM drives. The SATA 6Gb/s interface ensures smooth and efficient data transfer rates up to 6Gb/s, facilitating reliable data operations for various applications.

Equipped with a 64MB cache, the drive enhances overall performance by buffering frequently accessed data, which helps to reduce latency and improve system responsiveness. It uses 512e (512-byte emulation) sector size, ensuring compatibility with traditional 512-byte sector formats while accommodating larger storage capacities.

The drive is compatible with Dell PowerEdge 14G servers and other systems that support SATA interfaces. However, it does not support hot-swapping, meaning it requires a system shutdown for replacement or addition. This is an important consideration for environments where minimizing downtime is essential.

Reliability is a key feature, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours and a low error rate, ensuring long-term durability and data integrity. The drive operates efficiently within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C, making it suitable for typical data center conditions.

Power consumption is managed effectively, with 7.2W during active use and 5.5W when idle, providing a good balance of high performance and energy efficiency. Its dimensions (1.0 inches in height, 4.0 inches in width, and 5.8 inches in depth) and weight (1.6 lbs) make it a practical and space-efficient choice for server environments.

The standard carrier design ensures easy installation and compatibility with Dell server enclosures. Overall, the Dell 1TB SATA 7.2K 3.5″ 6Gbps HDD, 14G Server Drive combines large capacity, solid performance, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for expanding storage in Dell PowerEdge servers and other compatible systems.
