NEW Dell 1.2TB 10K 12GB/s SAS 2.5" Hard Drive Dell R630 R730 R730XD (Dell WXPCX)

Have bulit multiple bare metal Dell servers over the past year using this sellers SAS Drives. Have not had a single failure or bad sector. All of my servers operate 24/7 using virtual disks at RAID 5 or RAID 10, these physical disks have a proven record ofmillions of READ/WRITE cycles of reliable service, return on investment, Low Meat Time Between Failures (MTBF) , and an extended lifecycle over similar products. Its not often that I provide a 'glowing review' of electronics, especially computer products, but this sellers drives have simply "Walked the Walk"over time.

Drive I received works fine, and the included caddy fits an R620 well, but it is a Seagate ST1200MM0018. This is an "advanced format" drive, which "emulates" a 512-byte block size. This means that, depending on your hardware and OS, you may actually need to use a tool like sg_format to run a low-level format to convert it to a true 512-block drive before you can use it. Just a heads up.
