Hard drives
Your system supports entry hard drives and enterprise-class hard drives. Entry hard drives are designed
for 5x8 operating environment with less workload rating to drives and enterprise-class drives are
designed for 24x7 operating environment. Selecting the correct drive class will enable the critical areas of
quality, functionality, performance, and reliability to be optimized for the target implementation.
NOTE: Do not mix enterprise-class hard drives with entry hard drives.
Choosing the right drive type depends on the usage pattern. Improper use of entry hard drives (workload
rating exceeds 55TB/year) will lead to significant risk and increase the drives failure rate.
For more information on these hard drives, see the
512e and 4Kn Disk Formats
whitepaper and
4K Sector
HDD FAQ
document at
Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
All hard drives are connected to the system board through the hard drive backplane. Hard drives are
supplied in hot-swappable hard drive carriers that fit in the hard drive slots.
