Dell 6TB SAS 12Gb/s Hard Drive

This refurbished 3.5-inch drive delivers 6TB of capacity at 7200 RPM with a SAS 12Gb/s interface and includes a mounting tray. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that require near-line storage in a standard drive bay.

Suited for PowerEdge arrays needing high-capacity

Administrators expanding storage pools in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers will find the SAS 12Gb/s interface and included tray simplify installation. Systems limited to slower SAS speeds or lacking 3.5-inch hot-swap bays cannot use this drive at its rated performance.

Interface speed decides compatibility

The drive operates at SAS 12Gb/s, so the host backplane and controller must support that signalling rate to achieve full throughput. A backplane or controller limited to a lower SAS speed will bottleneck the drive and may prevent it from functioning correctly.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 7200 RPM SAS 12Gb/s drive draw when running continuously in a server?

The 3.5-inch nearline SAS drive is rated for typical 7200 RPM operation in PowerEdge bays; sustained power draw will follow the platform's thermal design limits for this form factor.

What controller or backplane is required to use the SAS 12Gb/s interface on this 6TB drive?

A 12Gb/s SAS HBA, RAID controller, or PowerEdge backplane with 3.5-inch drive bays is needed to negotiate the full 12Gb/s link speed.

Will this 3.5-inch SAS drive work in an older PowerEdge that only supports 6Gb/s SAS backplanes?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface is backward compatible and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on legacy backplanes while retaining full 6TB capacity.
