Dell 6TB 12Gb/s SAS enterprise drive
This Dell 6TB drive spins at 7200RPM and connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface in a 3.5in form factor. It is supplied new with an R Series caddy for hot-swap bays. The 4Kn sector format suits modern storage arrays.
Suited to SAS storage servers and arrays
Buyers expanding a SAS-based server or JBOD that accepts 3.5in hot-swap trays will find the correct interface and carrier included. Systems without a SAS controller or backplane cannot use this drive. Workloads needing SSD latency or higher areal density should consider other media.
The 12Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility
A host bus adapter or RAID card with 12Gb/s SAS ports is required for the drive to operate at its rated speed. The 4Kn logical block size also demands operating-system and controller support. Verify both before purchase.
