Refurbished SAS Hard Drives
Refurbished SAS hard drives for servers with a SAS controller: 15K and 10K RPM performance drives and 7.2K nearline SAS (NL-SAS) capacity drives, in 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch, at 3, 6 and 12 Gb/s. Only SAS-interface drives are listed here, from Dell, HPE, Seagate, HGST, Toshiba, IBM and Lenovo; SATA drives have their own page. Each drive goes through our lab twice, on arrival and before dispatch.

SAS drives by spindle speed
Spindle speed decides what a SAS hard drive is for. Seagate's datasheets show the trade-off: 2.0 ms average latency for its 15K Exos 15E900, 2.9 ms for its 10K Exos 10E2400 and 4.16 ms for its 7.2K Exos 7E8, while the largest model in each family grows from 900GB to 2.4TB to 8TB.
| Class | Spindle speed | Average latency (Seagate) | Form factors listed | Capacities listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15K SAS | 15,000 RPM | 2.0 ms (Exos 15E900) | 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch | 36GB to 900GB |
| 10K SAS | 10,000 RPM | 2.9 ms (Exos 10E2400) | Mostly 2.5-inch | 72GB to 2.4TB |
| NL-SAS | 7,200 RPM | 4.16 ms (Exos 7E8) | Mostly 3.5-inch | 500GB to 24TB |
Each class also has its own page: 15,000 RPM SAS drives, 10,000 RPM SAS drives and nearline SAS (NL-SAS) drives.
Servers and controllers that run SAS
A SAS drive needs a SAS controller. Seagate's guidance runs one way: a SATA drive can go on a SAS controller, but a SAS drive cannot go on a SATA controller. Dell lists 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA drives for the PowerEdge R740 and R740xd behind PERC controllers such as the H730P and H740P, or the non-RAID HBA330, and HPE's DL380 Gen10 QuickSpecs class SAS drives as Enterprise at 10K and 15K and Midline at 7.2K. Some listings are for the bare drive and say so; check the tray against your chassis. Interface trade-offs are in our SAS vs SATA guide, and array layouts in our RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 comparison.
Every SAS drive comes with an Enterasource warranty, the length given on each listing. Controllers for these drives are listed under SAS HBAs and server RAID controllers. Browse every interface on server hard drives, or compare SATA hard drives.
Common question
- What is a SAS drive?
- A SAS drive is a hard drive or SSD that uses Serial Attached SCSI, the serial interface that carries SCSI commands at 3, 6 or 12 Gb/s. A SAS hard drive has two independent ports, each with its own SAS address, so a server can reach it over two paths, and Seagate's Exos 15E900 manual lets each port run at its own link rate. SAS connectors and cabling also accept SATA drives, but a SAS drive cannot run on a SATA-only controller, so it pairs with a SAS HBA or a SAS RAID controller such as a Dell PERC.
