Product Overview
The Dell 341-9725 is a 2TB internal hard disk drive (HDD) that operates at 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) and uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA-II) interface. This HDD is designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level applications, offering high capacity and fast read and write speeds. In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of the Dell 341-9725 in more detail.
Capacity
The Dell 341-9725 has a storage capacity of 2 terabytes (TB), making it an excellent choice for data-intensive applications that require large amounts of storage space. This capacity can hold thousands of high-definition movies, millions of photos, or millions of documents, making it ideal for businesses that require a large amount of data storage.
Speed
The Dell 341-9725 operates at 7,200 RPM, which is faster than many other HDDs on the market. This higher RPM translates into faster read and write speeds, which is especially important for enterprise-level applications that require quick access to large amounts of data. The faster speeds also reduce the time it takes for the HDD to boot up and load applications, making it a good choice for users who value speed and efficiency.
Interface
The Dell 341-9725 uses the SATA-II interface, which is a standard interface for connecting HDDs and solid-state drives (SSDs) to motherboards. SATA-II provides a maximum transfer rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is faster than the previous SATA-I standard. This faster transfer rate allows data to be transferred to and from the HDD more quickly, reducing data transfer times and improving system performance.
Compatibility
The Dell 341-9725 is compatible with a wide range of servers and other enterprise-level applications, making it a versatile and reliable choice for businesses. It is designed to work with Dell PowerEdge servers, but it can also be used with other servers that support the SATA-II interface. This compatibility ensures that the Dell 341-9725 can be used in a variety of different systems, making it a convenient choice for IT managers who need to standardize on a single HDD model.
Reliability
The Dell 341-9725 is designed to be highly reliable, with a mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 1.2 million hours. This rating indicates that the HDD is expected to last for a long time, with very little risk of failure. This reliability is important for enterprise-level applications, where downtime can be costly and disruptive. The Dell 341-9725 also includes advanced error correction technology, which helps to prevent data loss and ensures that data is stored and retrieved accurately.
Security
The Dell 341-9725 includes security features that help to protect data from unauthorized access. It includes self-encrypting drive (SED) technology, which encrypts data as it is written to the HDD. This encryption helps to protect data from theft or unauthorized access, making the Dell 341-9725 a good choice for businesses that deal with sensitive or confidential data.
Finally, the Dell 341-9725 is a versatile and reliable 2TB internal HDD that is designed for use in servers and other enterprise-level applications. It offers high capacity, fast read and write speeds, and advanced security features, making it a good choice for businesses that need to store and access large amounts of data quickly and securely. Its compatibility with a wide range of servers and systems, combined with its high reliability rating, make it a convenient and cost-effective choice for IT managers and system administrators.

About Refurbished Products
Serial advanced technology attachment denoted as SATA or Serial ATA, or S-ATA is a computer bus interface mostly connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices including hard drives. It is the most commonly used technology to connect hard drives to a PC's motherboard.
There have been multiple versions of the SATA interface developed to meet the need for increased storage capacity and bandwidth. The SATA technology was first introduced in 2000 to replace ATA and PATA to provide faster data transfer rates and hot-swapping. Advanced host controller interface (AHCI) is the standard interface for SATA which supports hot swapping and native command queuing (NCQ). Hot swapping refers to the ability to replace components of a computer system without having to shut down the entire system. NCQ allows improved performance through the ability to augment the orders of implementation of reading/writing commands. That means commands will be rescheduled and permits the host to send more commands to the hard drive as it searches data for another command. The 6Gbps data transfer throughout makes it superior to previous technologies such as ATA and PATA. SATA is able to run in IDE emulation mode, but it will not support advanced features.
We have helped all our clients across the board to understand how the technology works with HDDs, SSDs, and modules by knowing the specifications of the different SATA versions. A good grasp of these versions of SATA helps in the identification of the right storage capacity options for your application.
SATA II HDD generation or SATA 2.0 of the SATA technology is part of a series of revisions that happened in 2003, 2004, and 2008 that culminated in SATA III or SATA 3.0. With every revision, there was an increase in speed and additional features that support speed and allow for reliable storage drives. However, the physical appearance of the SATA connector was not altered. SATA III is the most commonly used SATA interface and has been through five revisions from 3.1 to 3.5.
SATA II hard disk was previously referred to as SATA 3Gbps which reflected its speeds. This second generation of the SATA technology has a SATA interface with 3Gbps transfer speed and a bandwidth throughput of 300MB/s. The following are SATA II drives you can choose from depending on specific needs: 2TB-5.4K RPM, 2TB-5.9K RPM, 3TB-7.2K RPM.
Notable features of SATA II include:
- Hot plugging – refers to the ability to change a drive as the computer runs.
- Staggered Spin Up – refers to the ability to start disk drives in sequence to ensure even power load at the start of the system.
- Native command queuing – SATA 2.0 drives have an in-built algorithm that chooses the most efficient order to execute commands to improve performance and efficiency. The feature helps to reduce mechanical overhead and improve performance.
- Port multipliers – this help to connect as many as 15 drives to a SATA controller. This feature facilitates the easier building of disk enclosures using SATA drives.
- Port selectors – the feature allows the connection of two hosts to one drive. It helps create redundancy in the drive connection which is very critical in enterprise environments. That means if one of the hosts experiences failure, the second host will take over thereby ensuring continued access to storage.
All SATA generations are compatible both forward and backward. It, therefore, means that SATA II hard disk is backward compatible to function with SATA I ports. Likewise, SATA III is compatible backward to function with SATA I and SATA II ports. In backward compatibility, the maximum speed of the drive will slow down in line with the speed limitations of the port it is connected to. The same is true for lower SATA generations being compatible with higher SATA generations but are limited to their inbuilt speeds.
For users seeking greater speeds than the SATA III limits at 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps, and 6Gbps, there are M.2 and NVMe drives that offer greater performance. These drives have no limitations and will perform more efficiently and are chosen by users focused on speed and performance above everything else.
We have different motherboards with SATA connections and more particularly with SATA II connections and will come with a few SATA cables for the connections that you will use to build a new rig or do upgrades on a rig. Choose from the wide range of SATA cables dependent on what you need and especially when upgrading an older hard drive or other components on your computer. To ensure that you achieve enhanced speeds and performance, you need to buy SATA cables and adapters for compatibility. It may help to depend on your profile and budget to get the latest SATA III standard.
You can fully trust our team to walk you through the options available with SATA II technology and help you choose the best storage for your applications.
