  • 6 TB capacity for large-scale data storage

6 TB SAS drive for Dell servers

This 6 TB SAS hard drive operates at 7.2 K RPM with a 12 Gb/s interface. It fits 3.5 inch bays in Dell PowerEdge servers from the R210 through R930 families. The unit ships new with a compatible Dell caddy for direct installation.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The 7.2 K spindle speed delivers steady throughput for bulk storage workloads while keeping heat output moderate in multi-drive chassis. SAS signalling at 12 Gb/s maintains consistent bandwidth without the latency spikes seen on slower links. Power draw scales with the number of active drives in the array.

Caddy and firmware integration

The bundled Dell-compatible caddy locks into the hot-swap trays of the listed PowerEdge models without adapters. Firmware on the drive reports health metrics through the server iDRAC or PERC controller for proactive monitoring. Buyers who need higher IOPS or lower latency should evaluate solid-state alternatives.

Questions about this item

How do I install the drive with the included caddy into a PowerEdge R730?

Slide the drive into the compatible Dell caddy, lock the handle, then insert the assembly into a free 3.5-inch hot-swap bay until the latch clicks.

What maintenance will this 6TB SAS drive need over its service life?

No scheduled maintenance is required; monitor SMART attributes and replace the unit if reallocated sectors or seek errors increase.

What limit appears first when writing continuously to this 7.2K spindle?

The mechanical media transfer rate of the 7.2K platters saturates before the 12Gb/s SAS link becomes a bottleneck.
