Dell 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS 12Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive

The Dell F5HFM is a 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS hard drive that brings 1.2TB of additional capacity to Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. Spinning at 10,000 RPM, it delivers rapid data access while the 12Gbps SAS interface keeps transfer rates steady under demanding workloads. That combination makes it a smart upgrade when you need more space without giving up performance.

Because the drive is hot-plug capable, administrators can add or replace it without interrupting service. This feature is valuable in virtualized clusters, database servers, and any environment that must stay online around the clock. Installation is straightforward: the drive arrives in a Dell-approved carrier and ships with firmware that is already qualified for PowerEdge platforms, so it slides into place and shows up immediately in the system management console.

In real-world terms, the F5HFM can host frequently accessed databases, expand a virtual machine datastore, or hold backup sets that need fast restore times. Its enterprise-grade build and Dell certification mean you can count on predictable performance and long-term reliability, which helps lower the risk of unplanned downtime.
