Dell Hard Drive 10TB 7.2K 12G 3.5 Inch SAS 4KN XGYWN-RFB is a 10-terabyte enterprise-class SAS hard disk drive designed for data center and server environments. The drive offers a 7200 RPM spindle speed, 12 Gbps SAS interface and support for 4K native (4Kn) sector format to provide efficient large-block storage. This model (MPN XGYWN-RFB) fits standard 3.5-inch drive bays and is intended for systems that require high-capacity, reliable spinning-disk storage for archival, backup, or mixed workload applications.

Advantages

The Dell 10TB 7.2K SAS drive combines a high capacity with a 12G SAS interface to deliver sustained throughput suitable for many server tasks. Native 4Kn support improves addressability and efficiency when used with modern operating systems and storage controllers that accept 4K sectors. The 7200 RPM rotational speed balances performance and power consumption relative to higher-RPM enterprise drives. The drive follows Dell compatibility standards and the specified MPN (XGYWN-RFB), simplifying procurement and replacement in Dell-certified systems.

Suitable for

• Primary or secondary storage in rack-mounted or tower servers
• Mass capacity pools for backup and archival systems
