Enterprise 10TB 3.5" SAS Hard Drive

Refurbished enterprise 10TB 3.5-inch SAS hard drive, a 7,200 RPM nearline drive for LFF SAS bays in Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant servers. Refurbished enterprise SAS hard drives are the capacity tier of a server: previously deployed, tested, and sold by capacity, spindle speed and form factor rather than by brand, because the manufacturer varies by lot. They run on any PERC, Smart Array or HBA with a SAS backplane, at the link speed the controller and backplane negotiate.

Specifications

Compatibility

This 3.5-inch LFF drive needs a 3.5-inch bay; a 2.5-inch-only chassis cannot take it. It is SAS, so it needs a PERC, Smart Array or HBA with a SAS backplane, not onboard SATA. Dell 13th gen and 14th to 16th gen 3.5-inch trays differ, and HPE uses its own LFF carriers, so we match the tray to your chassis. Browse matching parts for the Dell PowerEdge R540.

When to Choose This

The 10TB is a capacity tier drive for file servers, video retention and backup targets in an LFF chassis such as the R540. We do not quote RAID 5 for large-capacity spinning disk arrays: a 10TB rebuild runs for many hours and a second failure in that window loses the array, so we quote RAID 6 or RAID 10. If a smaller array with faster rebuilds suits you better, the 6TB or 8TB is the alternative.

Installation Notes

To boot from a volume above 2 TB, use UEFI and a GPT partition table. On PERC, clear any foreign configuration before adding the drive to a new virtual disk.

Every part we sell is tested and covered by our 180-day warranty. Volume pricing starts at 5 units, and our team at 1-800-778-1545 can quote a fleet refresh or a mixed parts order. Request a quote or add it to your cart; we confirm fit against your service tag before it ships.
