Capacity and interface
This Dell EMC hard drive provides one terabyte of storage on a 12 Gbps SAS interface. It is built for internal use in compatible Dell PowerVault storage systems and suits administrators who need reliable nearline capacity for archival or backup workloads.
Upgrade path
The drive replaces smaller-capacity SAS disks or older 6 Gbps models when more space is required without changing the enclosure. The jump is worth it when the array has free bays and the controller supports 12 Gbps speeds to take full advantage of the interface.
Compatibility check
Verify that the target system is a Dell PowerVault MD3060e or another platform explicitly qualified for the ST1000NM0085Product part number. Confirm the controller firmware recognises 12 Gbps SAS drives and that hot-plug trays for 3.5-inch form factor are available.

Questions about this item
Does the 3.5in form factor require a specific drive bay or tray to fit?
The 3.5in drive is built for internal bays and is listed as compatible with the Dell PowerVault MD3060e storage system.
How is the Sas 12gbps interface connected during installation, and what step is often missed?
Insert the drive into a hot-plug bay so the Sas connector seats fully; the common miss is not pushing until the latch clicks.
What maintenance does the 7200 rpm spindle need over its service life?
No scheduled mechanical maintenance is required; monitor SMART data and replace the drive if reallocated sectors or seek errors appear.
