Epoch YM86T 8TB 7200RPM SATA hard drive

The Epoch YM86T is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a replacement kit for Dell PowerEdge and Tower servers.

Server and NAS builders needing bulk capacity

This drive suits administrators expanding storage arrays in compatible Dell PowerEdge 12, 13 generation and Tower 12, 14 generation servers. It is not for systems that require 2.5-inch form factors or interfaces other than SATA.

8TB capacity at 7200 RPM

The single specification that determines fit is the 8TB capacity delivered at 7200 RPM over a SATA 6 Gb/s link. This combination defines the drive's throughput envelope and storage density for the supported server platforms.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8TB 7200 RPM model or a lower-capacity drive for my Dell PowerEdge R720?

The 8TB capacity at 7200 RPM gives the highest storage density and sustained throughput this drive line offers, so choose it when you need maximum space and speed in a single 3.5" bay.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for actual performance in a server array?

At 7200 RPM the platters spin fast enough to deliver consistent sequential read and write rates suitable for database logs, virtual-machine storage and bulk-file workloads on compatible Dell PowerEdge systems.

Does the SATA 6Gb/s interface limit throughput on a Dell PowerEdge R630 backplane?

The drive uses the SATA 6Gb/s interface, so its practical ceiling is the SATA III link speed; the R630 backplane will negotiate at that rate and the drive will not exceed it.
