Seagate ST8000NM0075 8TB 7200RPM 3.5" SAS 12Gbps internal hard drive

8TB SAS enterprise hard drive

The Seagate ST8000NM0075 is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 7200RPM. It is built for enterprise storage arrays and servers that require high-capacity, reliable bulk storage. The drive uses a standard 3.5-inch form factor and carries firmware E002. It ships new and weighs 2.0 pound.

Suited for RAID arrays and backup targets

This drive suits administrators expanding SAS-based RAID arrays, JBOD enclosures or near-line backup repositories where sustained throughput matters. It is not for laptops or small-form-factor PCs that accept only 2.5-inch drives. It is not for systems lacking a SAS HBA or RAID controller with 12Gb/s ports. It is not for users who need the low latency of solid-state media.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Your host bus adapter, RAID card or backplane must support 12Gb/s SAS signalling to use this drive at its rated speed. Without a compatible SAS controller the drive will not function. Verify the controller and cabling before purchase.
