Dell 01D0F5 2.4TB 10K RPM 12Gbps SAS HDD (Seagate ST2400MM0159) for PowerEdge Servers

The 01D0F5 2.4TB is a Dell-qualified 10K RPM 2.5-inch SAS hard drive for PowerEdge servers, supplied by Seagate under model code ST2400MM0159. A 12Gbps dual-port SAS interface and 10K spindle speed deliver the low-latency random I/O that transaction-heavy workloads need, at a per-terabyte cost well below flash.

Key Specifications

One Drive, Two Part Numbers

This drive circulates under two codes, and it is worth being explicit: 01D0F5 is the Dell ordering part number, and ST2400MM0159 is the Seagate OEM model printed on the drive label. They are the same physical unit. If your purchase order references one code and the delivered drive label shows the other, that is expected — check both against your bill of materials before assuming a mismatch.

10K RPM: The Value Middle Ground

Not every tier needs flash, and not every tier tolerates 7.2K latency. The 10K spindle sits in the middle: fast enough for database indexes, virtualization datastores, and busy file services, while staying far cheaper per terabyte than SSD. For capacity-heavy tiers with moderate random I/O, this 2.4TB drive is often the most cost-effective choice in the lineup.

Dual-Port SAS: Two Paths to Every Drive

The 12Gbps SAS interface is dual-port, which means the drive presents two independent paths to the server. Combined with multipath configurations in PowerEdge servers, that gives you redundancy at the drive level: if one path fails, I/O continues on the second. For drives holding business-critical data, this dual-port SAS redundancy is one of the quiet reasons SAS remains the default in enterprise servers.

Fitting PowerEdge Servers

The drive ships in a standard 2.5-inch hot-swap carrier. Before ordering, confirm your chassis has free 2.5-inch bays, your PERC or HBA supports 12Gbps SAS, and your RAID configuration accepts 2.4TB drive sizes. The drive installs without powering down the server, and a failed unit can be swapped out under load while the array runs degraded on parity.

Ideal Applications

• Database and ERP transaction volumes

• Virtualization datastores and VDI platforms

• Log, mail, and file server tiers
