8TB SATA desktop drive

The WD Black WD8001FZBX is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with an 8TB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides a 256MB DRAM cache over a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive is built for desktop workloads that benefit from sustained throughput and larger cache.

Creative pros, gamers, builders

Designed for creative professionals, gamers and system builders who need high-capacity mechanical storage for large media libraries or game installs. Buyers who want solid-state speed or a smaller 2.5-inch form factor should look at something else.

7200 RPM spindle speed

The 7200 RPM rotation rate is the key specification that determines sustained transfer performance for sequential workloads. It separates this model from slower-spinning desktop drives in the same capacity class.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" form factor and 26.10mm height fit my standard desktop drive bay?

Yes, the drive matches the standard 3.5" form factor with a maximum height of 26.10mm, width of 101.60mm and length of 147.00mm, so it fits typical desktop bays and mounting brackets.

What cables and motherboard connector do I need for the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, and which step is often missed?

Connect a standard SATA data cable to a motherboard SATA 6.0Gb/s port and a SATA power cable from the PSU; the step often missed is ensuring the motherboard port is set to AHCI mode in BIOS for full performance.
