Enterprise 12 TB SAS drive

This 12 TB 3.5-inch hard drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that require continuous 24x7 operation. The 512e sector format keeps it compatible with current storage controllers.

Capacity and headroom

Twelve terabytes provide ample space for backup, archival and disaster-recovery workloads in RAID or SAN arrays. The 7200 RPM spindle delivers steady throughput for sequential reads, while random I/O scales until the SAS bus or controller queue depth becomes the bottleneck.

Thermals, noise and power

Enterprise drives are designed for rack airflow rather than quiet desktop cases, so expect audible seek noise and measurable heat under sustained load. Power draw rises during heavy write activity typical of RAID rebuilds or backup jobs. The 512e format adds no extra thermal load beyond the mechanical operation.

Questions about this item

Will the SAS 12Gb/s interface work with my existing SAS 6Gb/s backplane?

Yes, the drive negotiates down to 6Gb/s on a SAS 6Gb/s backplane while keeping its 12TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed.

How can I verify the drive is healthy after installing it in my PowerEdge server?

Check the SAS link speed shows 12Gb/s in the RAID controller BIOS and run the Dell OpenManage diagnostics for SMART attributes and media scan.

Does the package include a 3.5-inch mounting tray or SAS cable?

The drive ships as a bare 3.5-inch unit; trays and cables are sourced separately for your specific PowerEdge chassis.
