Dell 2.40 TB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (12Gb/s SAS)

Enhance the storage backbone of your data center with the Dell 2.40 TB 2.5-inch internal SAS hard drive. Engineered for reliability and sustained performance, this spindle delivers enterprise-grade capabilities in a compact form factor that fits standard 2.5" drive bays and backplanes. With a sizable 2.40 TB capacity, a fast 12Gb/s SAS interface, and a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, it’s designed to handle demanding workloads such as large-scale databases, virtualized environments, and high-transaction file services. The drive’s hot-pluggable design enables maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime, helping administrators keep systems online and productive. The 512e format ensures broad compatibility with modern file systems while preserving compatibility with legacy operating systems. Whether you’re expanding an existing Dell infrastructure or building out a robust storage array, this drive offers the blend of capacity, performance, and reliability that enterprise workloads demand.

  • Extensive capacity for large data sets: With 2.40 TB of storage, you can store thousands of databases, multimedia archives, backups, and virtual machine images in a single drive. This level of capacity reduces the frequency of expansion projects, minimizes storage silos, and simplifies data growth planning across on-premises infrastructure and private clouds.
  • Enterprise-grade SAS performance: A 12Gb/s SAS interface paired with a 10,000 RPM spindle delivers strong sequential throughput and responsive I/O for I/O-heavy applications. This combination supports faster data access, lower latency for hot data, and improved performance for concurrent workloads common in data centers, virtualization clusters, and high-demand file services.
  • 2.5" form factor with hot-plug design: Specifically built for enterprise servers, this drive fits standard 2.5" bays and hot-plug backplanes. The hot-pluggable capability reduces maintenance windows by allowing drive replacement without powering down servers, which is crucial for uptime-sensitive applications and services in production environments.
  • 512e sector format for broad compatibility: The 512e format provides compatibility with legacy operating systems by emulating 512-byte sectors on modern drives that use larger physical sectors. This ensures smoother OS-level integration, straightforward data migration, and efficient use of storage resources across mixed environments.
  • Reliability and Dell engineering: Dell enterprise drives are designed for long-term reliability in demanding data-center conditions. They incorporate robust error correction, vibration tolerance, and firmware designed to work seamlessly with Dell server ecosystems, helping to deliver predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle.

Fits Fine, Looks Great, Sizing Makes No Sense
Size: 16.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: White, Size: 16.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: White
I hate shopping for dress shirts. For me, at least, it is a thoroughly frustrating experience, mostly because there's no consistency at all to the sizing. Actually, that's not quite true: dress shirts consistently DON'T FIT ME PROPERLY, which means I have to look at a lot of shirts and scrutinize size charts - which are usually incomplete, when they're provided at all - before finally finding The One. And sometimes, like this time, I don't manage to find The One. But this shirt comes close, as I will explain. The problem stems from my physique, which I never thought of as unique, but here it is: I'm short (just under 5'4", with a 40-41" chest, a little extra weight (so my middle is about the same), a 36" waist, 33" arms when measured the traditional way (more on that later) and a 16" neck. That last measurement is the single biggest problem: most shirt manufacturers apparently think that if you have a 16' neck, you are shaped like Omar the Tentmaker. Van Heusen is no exception. Note that this shirt is listed as "fitted". Now, that's a completely amorphous descriptor, which, I suppose, is true for most shirt fit descriptors these days. But if you look at Van Heusen's "regular" fit shirts, you'll find that they think if you have a 16" neck, you must have a nearly 50" chest and your waist is over 45". That's not regular, that's freakin' portly! I was afraid to even look at any of their Big & Tall men's dress shirts -- if their idea of regular fit was this skewed, then I didn't want to know what they think Big & Tall is. Thankfully, this is a "fitted" shirt, so Van Heusen thoughtfully provides the 16" neck version with a 42-44" chest and 36-38" waist. That's the size I bought, and it actually fits me pretty well. Still a little loose for a "fitted" shirt, but it doesn't look baggy, and that's what I was after. But a little more realism in the size descriptions would be greatly appreciated. Regarding the sleeve length, I really don't know what's up. I've seen charts that tell you how to measure it, but no matter how I measure it, I never manage to come up with any of the sleeve lengths provided on size charts. I have noticed that there appear to be two ways of measuring it, though. One way, which I call the traditional way because it seems to have been around longer, starts the measurement somewhere between the edge of the shoulder and the neck. At least, I think that's where it starts -- approximately. As I said before, I never manage to come up with the same number. But by this measurement, my correct sleeve length is 32-33", and the average guy's is probably 34-35". In the last year or so, when I shopped for shirts, I found some size charts using a different method, because the numbers were a lot lower, anywhere from 22" to 28". I have no idea where they came up with that measurement, nor do I know what mine is by this method, because the shirts I ended up buying so far have all used what I referred to as the traditional method. Anyway, the shirt looked quite nice on me, right out of the package, and continues to look quite nice on me after a couple of washings. The photo I attached is what the shirt looked like after being washed twice. I wash my shirts on my machine's Delicate cycle and hang them to dry. When cared for this way, the shirt does a pretty good job of living up to the listing's claim of wrinkle resistance. It doesn't come out perfectly smooth and crisp, but it looks good enough that I don't feel inclined to iron it. I decided on a poplin shirt because I was shopping for a summer-weight shirt that would breathe well. But poplin shirts proved nonexistent in my local stores, and not all that plentiful online. Poplin shirts listed online with full size charts so I could tell whether or not they might fit me were nearly as hard to find as igloos in the Mojave Desert, and poplin shirts whose size charts indicated that they were available with dimensions that would actually fit me were somewhere between that and hen's teeth. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found this one. But the composition of poplin appears to be open to some interpretation. I own a few poplin business shirts (which I wear without suits and ties), and upon receiving my new Van Heusen shirts, it seemed to me that my poplin business shirts were lighter and breathed better. But then it occurred to me that shirt manufacturers often treat their material with coatings that improve the luster and crispness of their shirts for display purposes, and such coatings might be why my new shirts felt stiff, heavy and not particularly airy. Not wanting to give up and send the new shirts back, I decided to take a risk and launder them to see if that improved the feel. Thankfully, it did. After two washings, my new shirts are less shiny than delivered (which I'm fine with), a lot less stiff and breathe reasonably well. So... these shirts fit well, look good and feel good. Check, check and check. That means I'm fully satisfied with them, right? Wrong -- I am NOT fully satisfied with them. It's summertime. Summertime where I live is hot and often quite humid. I wanted shirts appropriate for that weather. To me, that has always meant lightweight broadcloth short-sleeve shirts. But it seems that today's Fashion Police have decreed that there is no longer such a thing as a short-sleeve dress shirt. They have decreed that today's well-dressed men must wear heavy cotton, long-sleeve shirts year-round. Well, excuse me for living, but some of us perspire when dressed that way in summer heat. Poplin shirts were presented to me as the compromise between acceptable modern fashion and comfort. Linen shirts were also recommended, but I couldn't find a single linen shirt what didn't have a crinkly, casual finish, much less one that was intended to be worn with a tie. With extreme effort, I found a poplin shirt that fits well, and I bought two of them, but while they are more comfortable in the sticky summer heat than heavy cotton, they are NOT as comfortable as my old short-sleeve dress shirts. I want new short-sleeve dress shirts, dagnab it! But until I successfully identify and locate all those insane Fashion Police, blow up their air conditioners and confine them to a Chicago Summer Simulator (otherwise known as a sauna) for three days in their heavy cotton shirts so that they will once again bless the manufacture of short-sleeve dress shirts, I guess these Van Heusen fitted long-sleeve poplin shirts will have to do.

Top neck button is hard to close!
Size: 18" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: White
The top neck button is hard to close when you need to wear a necktie, especially if you have arthritis of the fingers like I do! Also, If your neck is a size 18 , it’s a tighter than what I’m used to! Otherwise a great fit and nice material!
