Dell 8TB SAS 12G 3.5" Server Drive

This 8TB SAS hard drive spins at 7.2K RPM and delivers a 12Gb/s interface. It ships with a compatible Dell caddy for direct installation. The unit is supplied new with a one-year warranty. It targets administrators expanding storage in supported Dell PowerEdge servers.

Fits R210 Through R930 PowerEdge Models

The included caddy matches a wide range of PowerEdge chassis from the R210 Gen I and II up to the R930. Systems lacking a 12G SAS backplane or 3.5-inch bay cannot use this drive. Buyers needing a different form factor or interface should look elsewhere.

12G SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The drive communicates over a 12G SAS link, so the host controller and backplane must support that speed. Without a 12G SAS connection the drive will not operate as intended. Verify the server’s storage controller before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 8TB SAS 3.5" 7.2K 12G drive ship with the Dell caddy included, or must I buy the tray separately?

The listing states the drive comes with a compatible Dell caddy for the supported PowerEdge servers, so no separate tray purchase is required.

How do I decide between the listed part numbers 400-ANWM, 400-AURZ, 400-AUXC and 400-ANWI for my server?

All four part numbers refer to the same 8TB SAS 3.5" 7.2K 12G specification; choose the one that matches your server's service tag or the caddy keying shown in your chassis.

What does the 12G SAS interface mean for actual throughput when the drive is installed in a PowerEdge R720?

The 12G SAS link supports up to 12 Gb/s between the drive and the controller, but sustained transfer rates will be limited by the 7.2K rotational speed of the mechanical platters.
