3.5-inch 8 TB SAS enterprise SSD

The Dell 161-BBRX is a 3.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive offering 8 TB of capacity over a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require high-capacity flash storage in a standard large-form-factor bay. The drive is supplied new and carries Dell part number 161-BBRX.

Suited for SAS-only 3.5-inch bays

This drive fits systems that accept 3.5-inch SAS devices and can negotiate 12Gb/s link speeds. It is not for hosts that only provide 2.5-inch slots, nor for platforms that lack SAS connectivity or cannot operate at the stated interface rate.

Interface SAS 12Gb/s

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. The host backplane or controller must support this exact signalling standard for the drive to function at its rated performance.

Questions about this item

Does the 161-BBRX ship with a 3.5-inch drive tray or must I buy one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch unit; any tray or caddy required by your server chassis must be purchased separately.

When should I choose the 8TB SAS 12Gb/s version over a smaller capacity?

Choose the 8TB model when you need maximum raw capacity per bay for sequential workloads such as backup, archival or video ingest.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS link deliver once the drive is installed in a compatible controller?

The 12Gb/s interface provides up to 12 gigabits per second of host bandwidth, reducing queue latency for heavy read streams.
