Dell 9HXX2 16TB 3.5" 7.2K RPM SAS 12Gbps 512e Hot-Plug HDD

The Dell 9HXX2 is a hard drive that gives your PowerEdge server 16TB of dependable storage. It uses a 3.5 inch bay and links to the system through a 12Gbps SAS interface, so large files and backups move quickly and predictably.

A spindle speed of 7200 RPM, paired with a 256 MB buffer, maintains steady performance for day-to-day operations such as file sharing, virtualization, or database hosting. The 512e sector format improves compatibility with both modern and legacy storage controllers, which simplifies deployment across mixed environments.

Because the drive supports hot-plug installation, you can add or replace it without shutting down the server. This feature is valuable in clustered or high-availability setups where every minute of uptime matters.

Whether you run a midsize office that needs room for growing data sets, a cloud environment that hosts many virtual machines, or an enterprise archive that must keep years of records online, the Dell 9HXX2 integrates smoothly and scales with demand.
