DP43H – Dell 2TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 2.5-Inch Nearline (NL) 512n Hard Drive

The Dell DP43H 2TB Hard Drive is a high-capacity enterprise storage solution engineered for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible Dell enterprise storage systems. Featuring 2TB storage capacity, a 7200RPM spindle speed, a SAS 12Gb/s interface, Nearline (NL) enterprise technology, 512n (512 Native) sector format, and a 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), this enterprise hard drive delivers an excellent balance of storage capacity, reliability, and performance for modern business and data center environments.

Designed for organizations requiring cost-effective, high-capacity enterprise storage, the Dell DP43H is ideal for file servers, backup and disaster recovery, cloud infrastructure, virtualization platforms, software-defined storage (SDS), enterprise storage arrays, surveillance systems, archive storage, and business-critical applications. Its 2TB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, virtual machines, enterprise applications, business documents, multimedia content, and large datasets.

The SAS 12Gb/s interface provides enterprise-grade bandwidth, advanced error correction, low latency, and dual-port support (where supported), ensuring higher availability, enhanced fault tolerance, and greater reliability than SATA-based storage solutions. Operating at 7200RPM, the drive delivers consistent read and write performance while maximizing storage efficiency for capacity-oriented workloads.

Built using Nearline (NL) enterprise technology, the drive combines the affordability and high capacity of traditional SATA storage with the enterprise reliability and manageability of SAS connectivity, making it ideal for applications that require large storage volumes without sacrificing enterprise features.

The 512n (512 Native) sector format provides native 512-byte sectors, ensuring excellent compatibility with legacy operating systems, enterprise applications, RAID controllers, and storage infrastructures that require traditional sector architecture.

Its 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) design enables higher storage density within rack-mounted servers while improving airflow and reducing power consumption, making it well suited for high-density enterprise deployments.

Manufactured according to Dell's rigorous enterprise-quality standards, the DP43H is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation, delivering enterprise-grade durability, enhanced data integrity, consistent performance, and dependable long-term reliability.

The Dell DP43H is an excellent choice for organizations seeking 2TB enterprise storage, 7200RPM performance, SAS 12Gb/s connectivity, Nearline enterprise technology, 512n compatibility, and optimized compatibility with Dell PowerEdge server platforms.
