8TB SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge servers

This 8TB SAS hard drive ships with a compatible caddy and is built for Dell PowerEdge servers from the R210 through R930 families. It suits administrators who need high-capacity nearline storage in a 3.5 inch bay.

12G SAS interface decides compatibility

The drive uses a 12G SAS connection and spins at 7.2K RPM, so the host controller and backplane must support 12G SAS to realise the rated throughput. A 6G backplane will work but limits bandwidth to half the rated speed.

Tool-less caddy eases installation

The included caddy slides into the hot-swap bay without screws, so replacement takes seconds on a running server. The common mistake is inserting the drive upside down or leaving the latch unlatched, which prevents the controller from detecting the disk.

How does the 12G SAS interface affect real-world transfer rates?

The 12G SAS link supports up to 12 Gbit/s bandwidth, though actual throughput will be limited by the drive’s mechanical speed and the controller.
