Epoch 400-ARUI 8TB 7200 RPM SATA Drive

The Epoch 400-ARUI is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It ships as a replacement kit validated for Dell PowerEdge 14G and 15G rack and tower servers. The drive is new and built with genuine components for enterprise storage arrays.

Suited for server storage upgrades, not desktop PCs

This drive targets administrators expanding capacity in compatible Dell PowerEdge R240 through R940xa and T150 through T550 systems. Buyers needing a 2.5-inch form factor or a different interface cannot use this kit. Workstations without 3.5-inch bays should consider other options.

SATA 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 6Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5-inch form factor. Only servers listed in the 14G and 15G families support this exact drive kit. Verify the server model before purchase to ensure the drive will be recognised.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 8TB 7200 RPM SATA drive draw under continuous server load?

The kit is built for Dell PowerEdge 14 and 15 generation servers where the backplane supplies standard 3.5-inch SATA power limits.

What server chassis or backplane must I already have to install this 3.5-inch SATA replacement kit?

It fits Dell PowerEdge 14G models such as R240 through R940xa and 15G models such as R250 through R7525 plus Tower T150 T350 T550.

Will the 6 Gb/s SATA interface negotiate down to 3 Gb/s on my older PowerEdge 14G backplane?

Yes, SATA 6 Gb/s is backward compatible so the drive will operate at the speed supported by the 14G or 15G controller.
