Dell 6TB SAS 12Gbps Hard Drive

This Dell 5Wt78 drive provides 6TB of nearline storage on a 12Gbps SAS interface. It spins at 7200 RPM in a 3.5 inch form factor and includes a tray for PowerEdge servers. The SLC NAND flash memory type supports the drive's internal operation. It is sold new in retail or OEM packaging.

Ideal for PowerEdge server expansion

This drive suits administrators adding nearline capacity to compatible Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 12Gbps SAS 3.5 inch drives with the supplied tray. Buyers whose servers only support slower SAS speeds or smaller form factors should look at other options. Systems requiring a different interface protocol cannot use this drive.

12Gbps SAS interface

The 12Gbps SAS interface is the single specification that decides compatibility. The server backplane and controller must support this exact interface speed and protocol for the drive to function at its rated performance. Verify the system documentation before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 7200 RPM SAS drive generate during continuous operation?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed produces typical nearline drive acoustics and heat output suitable for server chassis with active airflow.

What controller or backplane is required to use the 12 Gbps SAS interface?

A SAS controller or backplane supporting 12 Gbps SAS connectivity is required to operate the drive at its rated interface speed.

Will the included tray fit older 3.5-inch PowerEdge bays that used 6 Gbps SAS drives?

The 3.5-inch form factor and supplied tray match standard PowerEdge drive bays, allowing installation alongside earlier 6 Gbps SAS drives.
