Hard drives

CAUTION: Do not turn off or restart your system while the hard drive is being formatted. Doing so
can cause a hard drive failure.
NOTE: Do not mix enterprise class hard drives with entry class hard drives.
Your system supports four 3.5-inch entry hard drives and enterprise class hard drives. Entry hard drives
are designed for 8x5 operating environment and enterprise class hard drives are designed for 24x7
operating environment. Two hard drives are located in the removable hard drive cage and two hard drives
are located in the fixed hard drive bay.
Choosing the right hard drive type depends on the usage pattern. Improper use of entry hard drives
(workload rating exceeding 55 TB/year) leads to significant risk and increases the failure rate of the drives.
Due to industry advances, in some cases, the larger capacity drives have been changed to a larger sector
size. The larger sector size can have impacts on operating systems and applications. For more
information about these hard drives, see the 512e and 4Kn Disk Formats white paper and 4K Sector HDD
FAQ document at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
