10K RPM SAS Hard Drives
Refurbished 10,000 RPM hard drives: 10K SAS drives that give up a little latency against 15K for more than twice the capacity per bay, from 72GB up to 2.4TB, at 3, 6 and 12 Gb/s. Nearly all are 2.5-inch SFF drives from Dell, HPE, Seagate, HGST, Toshiba and IBM, including 512-native and 512e or 4Kn advanced-format models. Each drive is tested on arrival in our lab and once more at dispatch, and every one is covered by an Enterasource warranty whose term appears on its listing.

10K performance and capacity
Seagate's Exos 10E2400 spins at 10,000 RPM with 2.9 ms average latency and sustains 266 to 130 MB/s on its largest models, and Seagate lists mission-critical servers and database and OLTP applications among its best fits. It reaches 2.4TB in 2.5-inch, where Seagate's 15K Exos 15E900 stops at 900GB.
512n, 512e and 4Kn
Sector format is the detail that catches buyers of the larger 10K drives. Seagate builds the 10E2400 in 512-native up to 1.2TB, while its 1.8TB and 2.4TB models come only in its 512e/4Kn advanced format, and its 15K datasheet notes that 512e and 4Kn models perform better in 4K-aligned systems. The format is on each listing where the maker states it:
| Sector format | Capacities on this page | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 512n | 300GB to 1.2TB | Dell 9XNF6 1.2TB, Dell 6DWVP 600GB, Dell 3NKW7 300GB |
| 512e | 1.8TB and 2.4TB | Dell F9NWJ 2.4TB, Dell VTHDD 1.8TB, HP 768789-001 1.8TB |
| 4Kn | 1.8TB and 2.4TB | Cisco UCS-HD18TB10KS4K 1.8TB, Dell 36YG1 2.4TB, Dell K9GY7 2.4TB |
Servers and neighbouring classes
Dell's R750 drive list carries 2.5-inch 12Gb SAS 10K drives at 600GB, 1.2TB and 2.4TB, and HPE's DL380 Gen10 QuickSpecs list 10K Enterprise SAS drives from 300GB to 2.4TB, so these drives fit PowerEdge R750, R640 and ProLiant DL380 Gen10 SFF bays. For the lowest spindle latency see 15K RPM SAS drives, for bulk capacity NL-SAS, and for every SAS class SAS hard drives. Planning the array? See our guide to RAID 5, 6 and 10.
