Dell 85Fnj 6TB SAS hard drive

The Dell 85Fnj is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS interface and 7200 RPM spindle speed. It ships with a mounting tray designed for Dell PowerEdge servers. The drive uses SLC NAND flash memory and is supplied in new condition.

Suited for PowerEdge storage arrays

This drive fits administrators expanding or repairing storage in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 3.5-inch SAS nearline drives. Buyers whose systems require a different physical interface or a 2.5-inch form factor should look at something else.

SAS interface and tray compatibility

The SAS connection determines whether the drive can communicate with the server backplane, and the included tray ensures it seats correctly in supported PowerEdge bays. Verify that the target server lists this part number before purchase.

Questions about this item

Do I need a SAS host-bus adapter or RAID card to use the 85Fnj 6TB 7200 RPM SAS 3.5" drive?

Yes, a SAS host-bus adapter or RAID card with a 6 Gbit/s SAS port is required for the drive to be recognised and operate.

Will the 85Fnj 6TB 7200 RPM SAS drive work in a Dell PowerEdge server that currently uses 3 Gbit/s SAS drives?

The 85Fnj runs at 6 Gbit/s SAS; it will negotiate down to 3 Gbit/s on an older backplane, so it functions but at the lower speed.

How can I confirm the 85Fnj 6TB 7200 RPM SAS drive is healthy after installing it in my PowerEdge server?

Check the server's iDRAC or RAID controller BIOS — the drive should appear as a 6 TB SAS device spinning at 7200 RPM with no SMART errors reported.
