The Dell PowerEdge R240 is a 1U server designed around LFF (Large Form Factor) 3.5-inch drive bays. Depending on the configuration, the R240 can support either cabled or hot-swappable 3.5-inch SAS and SATA drives. While the R240 is an LFF platform, 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) drives can also be used in the hot-swap configuration with the appropriate 2.5-inch-to-3.5-inch drive converter or carrier.
This guide lists compatible hard drives and SSDs for the Dell PowerEdge R240, including 3.5-inch LFF drives as well as 2.5-inch SFF drives that can be installed using an adapter. The goal is to provide a practical reference for identifying drive models, form factors, interfaces, and other specifications when upgrading or replacing storage in an R240.
