Dell 8TB SAS 12Gb/s Drive

This 3.5 inch internal hard drive delivers eight terabytes of storage for Dell PowerEdge servers. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 128MB cache to handle mixed workloads. The hot-swap tray lets technicians replace the unit without shutting down the chassis. It is built for the R230, R330, R430, R530, R630 and R930 platforms.

SAS 12Gb/s Interface

The drive connects through a 12Gb per second SAS link that is backwards compatible with 6Gb and 3Gb controllers. This single specification determines whether the drive will negotiate full speed in your backplane. Verify that your RAID controller or HBA supports SAS 12Gb/s before ordering.

Suits Dell PowerEdge R230 through R930

Ideal for administrators expanding array capacity in the listed rack servers. Not suited for workstations or desktops that only provide SATA ports. Buyers who need a SATA-only drive or a 2.5 inch form factor should look at something else.
