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.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.
