Frequently Asked Questions

What does 512e mean?

512e (512-byte emulation) presents 512-byte logical sectors to the OS while using 4K physical sectors internally — ensuring compatibility with legacy operating systems and RAID controllers that do not support native 4K (4Kn) drives.

Is the 1X1GH compatible with Dell PowerEdge 14G servers?

The 1X1GH is validated for Dell PowerEdge 13G. Compatibility with 14G servers depends on the specific server model — verify with Dell's compatibility matrix before ordering.

Does this include a drive caddy/tray?

Dell OEM hot-plug drives are typically shipped with a compatible hot-plug caddy for direct installation in Dell PowerEdge hot-swap bays — verify inclusion before ordering.
