Enterprise NAS 8 TB Drive

The Seagate Enterprise NAS 8 TB hard drive runs at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache and a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. It is built for multi-bay desktop NAS enclosures that need continuous operation and high sustained throughput. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays in rack or tower servers.

Vibration Tolerance and PowerChoice

A Top Cover Attached motor reduces vibration in densely populated chassis, helping maintain consistent performance across multiple drives. PowerChoice technology lets the system select lower power modes during idle periods without spinning the drive down. On-the-fly error correction and a 256 MB buffer keep data flowing during heavy concurrent workloads.

SATA Port and Bay Compatibility

Verify that your NAS or server has a free SATA 6.0 Gb/s port and an available 3.5 inch drive bay with adequate airflow. The drive uses standard SATA power and data connectors; no special cabling is required beyond a latching SATA cable. Ensure the enclosure can dissipate heat from a 7200 RPM enterprise-class drive.
