Dell 2.40 TB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)

Enhance the storage backbone of your data center with the Dell 2.40 TB 2.5-inch internal SAS hard drive. Engineered for reliability and sustained performance, this spindle delivers enterprise-grade capabilities in a compact form factor that fits standard 2.5" drive bays and backplanes. With a sizable 2.40 TB capacity, a fast 12Gb/s SAS interface, and a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, it’s designed to handle demanding workloads such as large-scale databases, virtualized environments, and high-transaction file services. The drive’s hot-pluggable design enables maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime, helping administrators keep systems online and productive. The 512e format ensures broad compatibility with modern file systems while preserving compatibility with legacy operating systems. Whether you’re expanding an existing Dell infrastructure or building out a robust storage array, this drive offers the blend of capacity, performance, and reliability that enterprise workloads demand.

  • Extensive capacity for large data sets: With 2.40 TB of storage, you can store thousands of databases, multimedia archives, backups, and virtual machine images in a single drive. This level of capacity reduces the frequency of expansion projects, minimizes storage silos, and simplifies data growth planning across on-premises infrastructure and private clouds.
  • Enterprise-grade SAS performance: A 12Gb/s SAS interface paired with a 10,000 RPM spindle delivers strong sequential throughput and responsive I/O for I/O-heavy applications. This combination supports faster data access, lower latency for hot data, and improved performance for concurrent workloads common in data centers, virtualization clusters, and high-demand file services.
  • 2.5" form factor with hot-plug design: Specifically built for enterprise servers, this drive fits standard 2.5" bays and hot-plug backplanes. The hot-pluggable capability reduces maintenance windows by allowing drive replacement without powering down servers, which is crucial for uptime-sensitive applications and services in production environments.
  • 512e sector format for broad compatibility: The 512e format provides compatibility with legacy operating systems by emulating 512-byte sectors on modern drives that use larger physical sectors. This ensures smoother OS-level integration, straightforward data migration, and efficient use of storage resources across mixed environments.
  • Reliability and Dell engineering: Dell enterprise drives are designed for long-term reliability in demanding data-center conditions. They incorporate robust error correction, vibration tolerance, and firmware designed to work seamlessly with Dell server ecosystems, helping to deliver predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle.

How to install Dell 2.40 TB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)

  • Power down the server and unplug it from the power source before handling hardware to ensure safety and prevent data loss.
  • Open the server chassis and locate an available 2.5" drive bay or hot-swap tray that matches your backplane or cage configuration.
  • Prepare the drive bay by removing any existing drive or securing the tray if required by your chassis design.
  • Carefully insert the Dell 2.40 TB SAS drive into the drive tray, aligning the connectors with the backplane. Ensure the drive is fully seated and that any locking mechanism engages properly.
  • Slide the tray back into the chassis or connect the drive to the hot-plug backplane, ensuring a firm, secure connection for both power and data.
  • Secure the drive tray with any screws or latching mechanisms your enclosure requires to prevent movement during operation.
  • Power on the server or backplane and enter the system management interface (BIOS/UEFI or vendor management tool) to confirm the new drive is detected.
  • In the operating system, initialize, partition, and format the new drive as needed for your workload. Use appropriate RAID configurations or storage pools if required by your deployment.
  • Perform firmware checks or updates if available and recommended by Dell to ensure optimal compatibility with your server hardware and software stack.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Is this Dell 2.40 TB hard drive compatible with Dell servers and backplanes?
  • A: Yes. It is designed for enterprise Dell environments with 2.5" SAS bays and hot-pluggable backplanes, making it suitable for Dell PowerEdge servers and similar platforms.
  • Q: What does 12Gb/s SAS mean for performance?
  • A: The 12Gb/s SAS interface provides high-throughput data transfer between the drive and the backplane, reducing bottlenecks in I/O-heavy workloads and enabling faster data access, especially for databases, virtualization, and large file services.
  • Q: What is 512e format?
  • A: 512e indicates a drive that emulates 512-byte sectors on drives with larger physical sectors. This improves compatibility with legacy operating systems while enabling efficient use of modern storage features and capacities.
  • Q: Is this drive hot-pluggable?
  • A: Yes. The drive is hot-pluggable, designed for replacement or addition without powering down the server when used with compatible backplanes and drive cages.
  • Q: What workloads is this drive best suited for?

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.
