8 TB SAS 12 Gb/s enterprise hard drive

This 3.5-inch drive delivers 8 TB of capacity over a 12 Gb/s SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require consistent throughput and dual-port reliability. The form factor fits standard hot-swap bays in rackmount and tower chassis.

Capacity and headroom for bulk workloads

Eight terabytes provide ample room for backups, archives and near-line data sets that grow steadily. Sequential reads and writes sustain typical streaming workloads, while random I/O handles moderate database or virtualization tasks. Very heavy random write loads or latency-critical applications will exceed the mechanical limits of a 7200 RPM spindle.

Tested firmware and ESD-safe packing

Each unit ships with updated firmware verified during pre-shipment testing to ensure compatibility with Dell controllers and enclosures. Components are guaranteed genuine and packed in anti-static packaging that protects the drive during transit. No cables, brackets or software utilities are included in the package.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" SAS 12Gbps drive work in my older server that only has 6Gbps backplanes?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface which negotiates down to 6Gb/s on older backplanes so it will function normally at the lower speed.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM drive is healthy after installation?

Run the manufacturer diagnostic utility or check SMART attributes for reallocated sectors and spin-up time to confirm the 7200 RPM mechanism is operating correctly.

Does the GKWHP drive ship with a mounting tray or cables for a 3.5" bay?

The unit is supplied in ESD-safe packaging only; a 3.5" drive tray and SAS data and power cables must be sourced separately for installation.
