Dell 8TB SAS Hard Drive

This 8TB SAS hard drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible workstations. It fits 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with a Dell caddy for direct installation. The drive targets administrators who need high-capacity nearline storage in supported chassis.

12Gbps SAS Interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gbps SAS interface. Only systems with a 12Gbps SAS backplane or controller can use the full bandwidth. Older 6Gbps SAS controllers will work but limit throughput to their maximum speed.

7.2K RPM Nearline Operation

The 7.2K RPM spindle speed classifies this as a nearline drive optimised for capacity over random IOPS. In normal use it draws typical nearline power levels and produces moderate acoustic output suited to rack-mounted server rooms rather than quiet desktop environments.

Highlights

  • 8TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 2K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • 12G SAS interface moves data fast
  • 5-inch form factor fits standard bays
  • Caddy included for direct server installation

Questions about this item

How much usable space will the 8 TB drive show in the operating system?

The operating system reports capacity in binary units, so an 8 TB drive appears as roughly 7.2 TiB of usable space.

What does the 12 G SAS interface mean for transfer speed in this server?

The 12 Gbit/s SAS link provides the interface ceiling; actual throughput depends on the 7.2 K RPM rotational speed and the controller in the specific Dell model.

Will the included caddy fit my R720xd drive bay?

The supplied caddy is listed as compatible with the R720XD among many other Dell PowerEdge servers, so it will mount in that chassis.
