Cisco 1TB 7.2K RPM SAS LFF Overview
The UCS-HDD1TI2F212 Cisco 1TB 7.2K RPM SAS LFF Hot Plug with tray Hard Disk Drive category is dedicated to high-reliability, enterprise-grade 3.5" (LFF) serial attached SCSI (SAS) storage designed specifically for Cisco UCS servers and chassis. This category description focuses on the model family name, typical use cases, technical highlights, compatibility considerations, and practical advice for purchasing, deploying, and maintaining these drives in production environments.
Compatibility
These drives are typically certified for specific Cisco UCS blade and rack servers and must be used with the correct drive sleds/trays to ensure proper airflow, connectivity, and mechanical retention. Before purchase, cross-reference the chassis model (for example, UCS C220, C240, B200 M5, etc.) and the server's maximum supported media types. Using vendor-approved drive trays (the included tray in the product name) guarantees firmware and slot compatibility with the UCS backplane.
Complementary components
Hot-swap trays and sleds
The included tray is critical: trays vary across chassis generations. Having a stock of spare trays ensures you can replace lost or damaged sleds without downtime. Verify tray part numbers against Cisco compatibility guides.
RAID controllers, HBAs and cables
Optimal performance requires matching the drive's SAS interface capability with an appropriate RAID controller or HBA. Choose controllers that support SAS speeds and enterprise features like global hot spares, online capacity expansion, and non-volatile caching as required.
Comparison to alternative storage tiers
Vs. 10K/15K HDDs
10K/15K spindles deliver lower latency and higher random IOPS at the cost of capacity and increased power consumption. Use 7.2K spindles where capacity and throughput matter more than raw IOPS per spindle.
Vs. SATA SSDs and NVMe
SSD and NVMe media are superior for latency-sensitive operations, but their per-GB cost and endurance profiles differ. A hybrid architecture that leverages NVMe/SSD for hot data and 7.2K SAS drives for colder datasets often yields the best balance of responsiveness and cost efficiency.
