Product overview
The 1.8TB is the mid-range capacity in Dell Technologies's PowerEdge 10K SFF SAS range, which spans 600GB to 2.4TB across 4 capacity points. Dell 10K SFF drives with the hot-plug carrier — the standard PowerEdge spindle replacement.
It attaches over 12Gb/s SAS in the 2.5" SFF form factor. and is dual-ported, so both controllers in a redundant pair keep a path to the drive. It ships on the Dell hot-plug carrier, so it seats in the bay without sourcing a tray separately. The platters spin at 10K RPM behind a 256 MB cache.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Will the 1.8TB PowerEdge 10K SFF SAS fit my server?
- This is a 2.5" SFF part on 12Gb/s SAS. It fits any bay wired for 12Gb/s SAS with dual-port SAS routing, and the carrier is included so no separate tray is needed. Send us your server model and we will confirm backplane support, firmware level and any bracket or caddy required before you order — that check is part of every order we ship.
- Should I take the 1.8TB or the 2.4TB?
- They are the same drive with different capacity: identical 12Gb/s SAS, 2.5" SFF and endurance rating. The 2.4TB gives you 1.3x the capacity per bay. Where bays are the constraint — a full backplane, or a rack you cannot grow — the larger capacity is usually cheaper per usable terabyte once you count the chassis it saves. Ask us for both on one quote and compare.
- Is this Dell Technologies part genuine, and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full Dell Technologies manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.
- Do you offer volume pricing and accept purchase orders?
- The listed price is per unit and indicative; tiered pricing applies at quantity. We accept purchase orders from qualified businesses, government and defence agencies, and educational institutions, with net terms and consolidated invoicing available. Email the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours.
