Capacity and interface

This is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12G interface spinning at 7.2K rpm. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives and ships with a compatible caddy for direct installation.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 7.2K spindle speed delivers steady sequential throughput for bulk storage tasks such as backups, archives and cold data tiers. It is not suited for workloads that demand low latency or high random IOPS, such as transactional databases or virtual-machine boot volumes.

Thermals noise and power

As a mechanical 3.5-inch drive it produces audible seek noise and vibration during normal operation and requires adequate airflow in the server chassis. Power draw follows typical enterprise 7.2K SAS specifications and the drive relies on the host system cooling to maintain safe operating temperatures.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 7.2K SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 7.2K spindle speed keeps power draw and heat output moderate for a 3.5" SAS drive, so it stays cool and quiet in a server chassis with standard airflow.

Which Dell server caddy or backplane do I need to install this 3.5" SAS drive?

The drive ships with a compatible Dell caddy that fits R210, R220, R230, R300, R310, R320, R330, R410, R415, R420, R430, R510, R520, R530, R530XD, R630, R710, R715, R720, R720XD, R730, R730XD, R900, R905, R920 and R930 servers.

Will this 12G SAS drive work in an older 6G backplane I already have?

Yes, the 12G SAS interface negotiates down to 6G speeds, so the drive functions normally in earlier-generation Dell backplanes without any configuration changes.
