Dell 8TB 3.5" SATA Enterprise Drive

This Dell 8TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. It is built for 13th generation PowerEdge servers such as the R430, R530, R730, R730XD, T430 and T630. The 512e format provides high capacity storage for enterprise workloads.

Server builders needing 8TB SATA storage

This drive suits administrators expanding 13th generation PowerEdge servers that accept 3.5 inch SATA drives with a 512e sector format. It is not for systems limited to 2.5 inch bays, drives with a different sector size, or configurations that require a non-SATA interface.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 512e format

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 512e sector format determine whether this drive matches the server backplane and controller. Verify that the target system supports 3.5 inch SATA drives with 512e emulation before purchase.

Questions about this item

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

The 7200 RPM spindle speed gives this drive the sustained transfer rates needed for bulk enterprise workloads such as backups and archival storage.

How does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit actual performance?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps the maximum burst rate at 6.0 Gb/s; sustained speeds will be lower and depend on the drive's internal media rate.

Will this 3.5 inch drive fit in a 13th Generation PowerEdge server bay?

Yes, the 3.5 inch LFF form factor matches the drive bays in 13th Generation PowerEdge models including R430, R530, R730, R730XD, T430 and T630.
