Seagate Archive 8TB SAS 6Gbps drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive offers 8TB of capacity with a 5900 RPM spindle and a 128MB cache. It connects via a SAS 6Gb/s interface and is supplied in new condition for desktop or server installations.

Suited for high-capacity nearline storage in SAN

The drive targets workloads such as email, transaction processing, decision support and e-commerce where large sequential capacity matters more than low latency. It is not intended for buyers who need higher spindle speeds for random I/O performance or who require a different interface protocol.

SAS 6Gb/s interface and 5900 RPM spindle

The combination of a 6Gb/s SAS link and a 5.9K RPM rotation speed determines whether this unit fits the host controller and the performance envelope of the target storage array.

Questions about this item

What drive bay size does the 3.5" form factor require?

The 3.5" form factor fits a standard 3.5-inch internal drive bay in a desktop or server chassis.

How is the SAS 6Gb/s interface connected, and what step is often missed?

Connect the drive to a SAS backplane or HBA using a SAS data cable; the step often missed is ensuring the controller supports 6 Gb/s speeds.

When should the 128MB cache drive be replaced in a high-write Archive workload?

Replace the drive when SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or when the non-recoverable error rate approaches the rated threshold.
