8TB SAS 12Gb/s 7200 RPM nearline drive

This Dell 8TB hard drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM in a 3.5-inch form factor. It is built for nearline storage workloads that demand high capacity and consistent throughput. The unit ships new with updated firmware and the manufacturer part number HUH728080AL5204.

Suits servers and arrays that require 12Gb/s SAS

Buyers who need a different interface protocol or a 2.5-inch form factor should look elsewhere. Those requiring lower-capacity drives or non-SAS storage will not be served by this model.

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane do I need to connect this 12Gbps SAS drive?

You need a SAS controller or backplane that supports 12Gbps SAS signalling and provides a standard 3.5-inch drive bay with power.

Will this 7200 RPM SAS drive work in a system that currently uses slower nearline SAS drives?

Yes, the drive negotiates down to the link speed of your existing controller and operates alongside slower nearline SAS drives without issue.
