Enterprise 8 TB SAS Drive

The Seagate Exos 7E8 ST8000NM001A is an enterprise-class hard drive that stores up to 8 TB of data. It uses a 12Gb/s SAS interface and 10th-generation CMR technology for reliable performance in 247 environments. The metal construction supports demanding bulk data applications in data centre infrastructures.

Suited for Bulk Data Centres

This drive fits data centre architects and IT professionals who need cost-effective, high-capacity storage for unstructured data. It is not intended for buyers who require solid-state speed or consumer desktop workloads. Builders needing a different interface or smaller form factor should look at other product lines.

Questions about this item

Do I need a SAS 12Gb/s controller or backplane to use the ST8000NM001A?

Yes, the drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and requires a compatible controller or backplane that supports that speed for full operation.

Can the Exos 7E8 8 TB drive share a SAS backplane with older 6Gb/s SAS drives?

The drive is designed for 12Gb/s SAS links and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s when connected to an older backplane, allowing mixed generations on the same bus.

How can I verify the ST8000NM001A is running at 12Gb/s after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system storage utility; it should report 12Gb/s for each Exos 7E8 drive.
