SKU CH-NHFF-WHNHW

6TB SAS 3.5" 7.2K 12G internal hard drive with compatible caddy for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • 6 TB capacity stores large datasets and backups
  • SAS 12 Gb/s interface delivers fast data throughput
  • 2 K RPM spindle speed balances performance and reliability
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Supplied Dell caddy enables quick installation in compatible PowerEdge servers

6 TB SAS drive for Dell servers

This 6 TB SAS hard drive ships in a 3.5 inch form factor and spins at 7.2 K RPM. It connects through a 12 Gb SAS interface and includes a compatible Dell caddy for direct installation. The drive is designed for Dell PowerEdge servers ranging from the R210 through the R930 series.

Capacity and workload fit

Six terabytes provides substantial space for bulk data, backups and archival workloads in compatible Dell systems. The 7.2 K RPM spindle and 12 Gb SAS link deliver steady sequential throughput for cold-tier storage and near-line duties. Random I/O intensive databases or high-transaction workloads will exceed the mechanical limits of this drive class.

Thermals, noise and power

As a standard 3.5 inch 7.2 K RPM SAS drive it produces typical mechanical noise and heat output for near-line storage. Power draw follows conventional enterprise 3.5 inch drive profiles during idle and sequential access. The supplied caddy ensures proper airflow alignment within supported Dell PowerEdge chassis.

Questions about this item

Will this 12G SAS drive negotiate down to 6G on an older Dell R710 backplane?

The drive uses a 12G SAS interface and is listed as compatible with R710 servers. SAS devices automatically negotiate the highest speed both ends support, so it will run at 6G on that backplane.

How can I verify the drive spins at 7.2K RPM and reports 6TB after installation?

Check the drive model in your RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility; it should show 6TB capacity and 7.2K RPM spindle speed. SMART data will also confirm the rotational speed.

Does the shipment include the Dell caddy or only the bare drive?

The listing states it comes with a compatible Dell caddy for the R210 through R930 servers listed. No separate tray purchase is needed for those models.
