Dell PowerEdge SAS Hard Drives — Tray Included

10K/15K SFF and nearline LFF drives for PowerEdge G11 through G15, caddy in the box

About PowerEdge SAS Drives

The most common Dell storage mistake is buying a bare drive and discovering the hot-swap bay needs a caddy that costs another week of downtime. Thousands of our Dell SAS drives ship with the tray installed — pull the failed drive, slide in the replacement, and PERC picks it up immediately.

PowerEdge SFF (2.5-inch) SAS

10K RPM — 300 GB, 600 GB, 900 GB, 1.2 TB (our deepest cluster), 1.8 TB and 2.4 TB
15K RPM — 146 GB to 900 GB for transaction-heavy databases
6Gb/s and 12Gb/s variants clearly labeled — match your backplane generation

PowerEdge LFF (3.5-inch) Nearline

1 TB to 16 TB 7.2K nearline SAS and SATA for R530/R540/R740XD/R750 bulk bays — backup targets, file servers, and video storage. All with tray options for G11 through G15 chassis (the caddy design changed at G14; we stock both).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Dell hard drives come with the tray or caddy?

Ours mostly do — listings marked "with Tray" include the hot-swap caddy already installed and keyed for your PowerEdge generation. Dell used one caddy design for G11-G13 (R610/R620/R720/R730 era) and a new design from G14 (R640/R740 onward). If you order a bare drive, we can add the correct caddy — tell us your server model.

Will any SAS drive work in a Dell PowerEdge?

Electrically yes — PERC controllers accept any standard SAS/SATA drive. Dell does not firmware-lock drives on PowerEdge servers (that is a myth carried over from some storage arrays). The practical requirements are the correct caddy and, for RAID members, matching capacity and preferably matching RPM/firmware.

12Gb/s drive in a 6Gb/s backplane — does it work?

Yes. SAS is backward compatible: a 12Gb/s drive negotiates down to 6Gb/s on an older backplane, and a 6Gb/s drive works on a 12Gb/s backplane at its native speed. You only leave performance on the table with SSDs; for 10K/15K spinning drives the interface is not the bottleneck.

What is the difference between nearline SAS and regular SAS?

Nearline SAS (NL-SAS) is a 7,200 RPM drive with an enterprise SAS interface — capacity-optimized (up to 16 TB+) with dual-port capability, but slower random I/O than 10K/15K SAS. Use NL-SAS for bulk storage and backups, 10K/15K SAS for databases and VMs, and SSDs where IOPS matter most.
