Dell 85FNJ 6TB Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell 85FNJ is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for nearline storage in PowerEdge servers. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The drive ships as a bare unit with a tray included for direct installation.

Suited for bulk capacity in compatible Dell servers

This drive fits administrators adding high-capacity nearline storage to supported Dell PowerEdge systems that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives. It is not for workloads demanding lower latency or higher IOPS than a 7200 RPM mechanical drive can deliver. Buyers needing solid-state speeds or a different physical interface should consider other options.

SAS 6Gb/s interface determines controller

The drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s connection, so the host controller or backplane must support that specific interface speed. A mismatched controller will prevent the drive from functioning or force it to a lower negotiated rate. Verify the server's storage controller specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell 85FNJ 6TB SAS drive ship with a tray, cables or mounting screws?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit; tray, SAS cable and mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 7.2K RPM SAS 6Gb/s version or a different speed for a PowerEdge server?

The 7.2K RPM Nearline SAS 6Gb/s model is the only variant listed; it matches the Dell 85FNJ part number and is designed for PowerEdge nearline workloads.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for real-world throughput in a server array?

At 7200 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface the drive delivers nearline sequential performance suited to bulk storage and backup tiers in a PowerEdge chassis.
