This drive was pulled from decommissioned enterprise server/storage equipment and individually tested prior to listing. Each unit is verified using industry-standard SMART diagnostics and a full read/write functional test.
What we test:
- Full capacity verification (1.92TB confirmed)
- SMART health attributes, including reallocated sectors, wear leveling, and total bytes written
- Functional read/write operation across the entire drive
- Interface and hot-swap compatibility (SAS 12Gb/s)
Drive Health: Please select your preferred health percentage from the variations above. This reflects the drive's remaining endurance/wear-level based on SMART data at the time of testing — higher percentages indicate more remaining write life. Every listed tier is fully functional and ready to deploy; the percentage only affects expected longevity under sustained write workloads, not current usability.
Physical condition: Signs of normal data center use (light handling marks, tray wear); no damage affecting function or data integrity.
Data security: Drive has been securely erased. This model supports Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology for cryptographic erase, ensuring no recoverable data remains.
Specs: SAS 12Gb/s, 2.5" enterprise form factor, hot-swappable, Read Intensive (1 DWPD), manufactured by KIOXIA for Dell EMC.
Compatibility note: SAS interface — requires a SAS-capable controller/backplane. Not compatible with standard consumer desktop SATA ports.
Questions about which health tier fits your workload (archive, cache, RAID rebuild, etc.)? Message us before purchasing and we're happy to help you choose.
