Dell V1TX2 600GB 10K 2.5-inch Drive (Western Digital WD6002BKTG)

Dell lists V1TX2 in Table 9, Supported physical disk drive models, of the Dell EMC PowerVault MD34XX/38XX Series Support Matrix (Rev. A25, January 2020). That entry gives a 2.5-inch form factor, the Western Digital model WD6002BKTG, a capacity of 600 GB and a rotational speed of 10K. Dell records the drive as not self-encrypting and lists firmware D1P3 for it.

The matrix covers the MD3400, MD3420, MD3800i, MD3820i, MD3800f, MD3820f, MD3460, MD3860i and MD3860f arrays, and states that only the drives listed in Table 9 are supported in them. Dell notes that MD34 and MD38 arrays can use 12 Gbps HDDs or SSDs but negotiate them to a speed of 6 Gbps. Drives marked with an asterisk in Table 9 are not supported in the dense MD3460, MD3860i and MD3860f, and Dell does not support encrypted SSDs or 4Kn sector drives anywhere in the series.

The 900 GB drive in the same table is 99NCV, the Western Digital WD9002BKTG, with the same SED status and firmware. Use the 600 GB part when you are matching existing 600 GB members of a disk group.

Fit check: confirm your array is on the list above and, for a dense MD3460 or MD3860, check the Table 9 asterisk for this drive before ordering.

The 900GB drive in the same Dell table is 99NCV, with the same SED status and firmware, so it is the straight capacity upgrade; R72NV and more are in Dell PowerEdge Server Hard Drives (SAS, NL-SAS).
