12 TB SAS drive for enterprise servers

This 12 TB SAS hard drive spins at 7.2K RPM and connects through a 12 Gb/s interface. It uses a 3.5 inch form factor with 512e sector formatting. The unit is built for 14th generation Dell PowerEdge servers such as the R640, R740, R740XD and R940.

512e formatting and SAS interface benefits

The 512e sector format lets the drive work with legacy operating systems and backup software that expect 512 byte logical blocks. The SAS interface provides dual-port connectivity for multipath I/O and supports the 12 Gb/s signalling rate used by the target server platforms.

Check controller and bay compatibility before

Verify that your RAID controller or HBA supports SAS 12 Gb/s drives and 512e sector emulation. Confirm the chassis has an available 3.5 inch drive bay with the correct backplane cabling for SAS signalling. Ensure the server firmware is current for 14th generation drive recognition.
