6TB SAS drive for Dell servers

This 6TB SAS hard drive operates at 7.2K RPM with a 6G interface and includes a compatible caddy for Dell PowerEdge servers. It is suited for administrators expanding storage in supported rack and tower platforms. The drive is supplied new and carries a one-year warranty.

SAS 6G interface constraints

The SAS 6G link caps sustained throughput at the interface level, so sequential performance will not exceed that bandwidth ceiling. Random I/O is further limited by the 7.2K spindle speed, making the drive less suitable for latency-sensitive workloads. Compatibility is restricted to the listed PowerEdge models.

Capacity and workload fit

Six terabytes provides ample space for bulk data, backups and archival workloads that benefit from sequential access patterns. The drive handles nearline duties well but runs out of IOPS headroom for heavy transactional databases or virtualisation clusters demanding low latency.

Highlights

  • 2K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • SAS 6G interface connects to compatible Dell servers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6 TB model or a smaller capacity for my Dell server?

The 6 TB drive fits every listed server from the R210 through the R930 and provides the highest single-drive capacity in this lineup, so choose it when you need maximum storage per bay.

How does the 7.2 K RPM speed affect real-world throughput in a Dell R730?

At 7.2 K RPM the drive delivers steady sequential reads and writes suitable for bulk storage and backup workloads on an R730, but random IOPS will be lower than 10 K or 15 K models.

The drive uses a 6 G SAS link — what does that cap in practice?

The 6 G SAS interface limits the maximum theoretical transfer rate to 6 Gb/s, so sustained throughput will not exceed that ceiling even on a Dell R730XD backplane.
