Epoch 61V26 8TB SATA server drive

This Epoch 61V26 kit supplies an 8TB 3.5-inch hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM over a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is built for Dell PowerEdge generation 12 and 13 servers as well as Dell Tower generation 12 and 14 servers. The drive arrives new in retail or OEM packaging.

Suited for SATA server bays

The drive fits the listed Dell PowerEdge R and T models from generations 12 and 13 plus Tower models from generations 12 and 14. Builders whose chassis or controller require a different interface or a smaller form factor should look at another part.

8TB capacity at 7200 RPM

The single specification that decides fit is the 8TB capacity combined with 7200 RPM spindle speed on a SATA 6Gb/s link. This capacity and speed profile matches the workloads the listed Dell servers are designed to handle.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SATA drive in a Dell PowerEdge R720 server and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap bay until the carrier clicks, then secure the latch; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the SATA connector seats on the backplane.

What maintenance or replacement will the 7200 RPM SATA drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive after its rated service life or if SMART attributes show reallocated sectors; no scheduled mechanical maintenance is required for the sealed 3.5" unit.

What limit appears first on the 8TB SATA drive under sustained server workloads?

The 6 Gb/s SATA interface and 7200 RPM spindle speed cap sustained throughput, so sequential transfer rate hits the interface ceiling before the 8TB capacity fills.
