Refurbished SATA Hard Drives for Servers
Refurbished SATA hard drives for servers: enterprise SATA drives, mostly 7,200 RPM, in 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch from Dell, HPE, Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi, at 1.5, 3 and 6 Gb/s and from 40GB to 24TB. This page holds the SATA interface only. The drives suit SATA bays and, because SAS controllers also accept SATA drives, the SAS bays of Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant servers. Every drive passes our arrival test before it is listed and a second test on its way out.

SATA or SAS: what changes
SATA and SAS drives fit the same bays in many servers, but compatibility runs in one direction only. Seagate builds its Exos 7E8 with either interface, which makes it a fair comparison:
| Exos 7E8 interface | Link rates | Ports | On a SAS controller | On a SATA-only controller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SATA | 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5 Gb/s | Single | Runs | Runs |
| SAS | 12.0, 6.0 and 3.0 Gb/s | Dual | Runs | Does not run |
Both versions spin at 7,200 RPM with the same 4.16 ms average latency, so the decision is about ports and controllers rather than speed. When a design calls for dual-ported capacity drives, look at NL-SAS hard drives; the wider background is in SAS vs SATA: how server drive interfaces differ.
Fitting SATA drives in a server
Dell lists 6Gb/s SATA alongside 12Gb/s SAS for the 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch bays of the PowerEdge R740xd, and the R750 supported-drive list runs 3.5-inch 7.2K SATA from 2TB to 18TB. HPE sells its SATA hard drives as Midline 7.2K, in small and large form factor. Most of this page is 3.5-inch, so confirm whether your server has LFF or SFF bays; the 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drive pages show every interface side by side.
An Enterasource warranty covers each drive for the term its listing states. All interfaces are on server hard drives, and SAS only on SAS hard drives.
