Dell GK8MY 1.2TB SAS 12Gb/s Drive

The Dell GK8MY is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It connects via a SAS interface operating at 12Gb/s and spins at 10000 RPM for fast data access. The drive is supplied as a bare unit with a hot-swap tray for quick installation.

Suited for high-performance server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need 10000 RPM throughput and dual-port SAS reliability for primary storage or caching tiers. It fits 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems. Buyers needing larger capacity per spindle or solid-state latency should consider alternative media.

SAS 12Gb/s interface at 10000 RPM

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with 10000 RPM rotational speed. Your backplane and controller must support 12Gb/s SAS signalling to realise the rated transfer rate. Verify that your chassis accepts 2.5-inch hot-swap trays before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the GK8MY 1.2TB SAS 12Gb/s drive work in a server that currently uses 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s, so the drive will operate alongside existing 6Gb/s drives on the same backplane.

How can I verify the GK8MY is running at its rated 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS or use a SMART monitoring tool; it should show 10000 RPM for this model.

Does the GK8MY come with a hot-swap tray or mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare drive only; a compatible hot-swap tray and any mounting hardware must be purchased separately.
