4TB SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise Drive
This 4TB 3.5 inch drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 128MB cache. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers such as the T330, T430, T630, R530, R630 and R730. The hot-swap capability allows drive replacement without shutting down the system. It suits administrators who need reliable bulk storage in supported 12Gb/s SAS backplanes.
Sustained Workload Behaviour
The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads such as backups, archives and media repositories. The 128MB cache helps smooth burst write activity before data reaches the platters. SAS signalling provides dual-port redundancy and better error recovery than single-port alternatives. Buyers who need low-latency random I/O for databases or virtualisation should consider faster spindle speeds or solid-state media instead.
Installation Notes
The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard SAS drive bays and caddies in the listed PowerEdge models. Hot-swap support means the drive can be inserted or removed while the server is running, provided the backplane and controller support it. Compatibility is limited to systems with 12Gb/s SAS controllers and the correct drive carrier; it will not work in SATA-only backplanes or laptops. Always verify the server's drive carrier requirements before ordering.

Fragen zu diesem Artikel
How much heat and power does the 7200 RPM SAS 12Gb/s drive add when running continuously in a server?
At 7200 RPM the drive draws typical SAS nearline power levels; the 128 MB cache helps smooth bursts, so sustained heat is comparable to other 3.5" 4 TB enterprise drives.
Which controller or backplane must my system already have to use the SAS 12Gb/s interface?
A SAS 12 Gb/s HBA, RAID card or backplane with 3.5" hot-swap bays is required; the drive will not work on a SATA-only connector.
Will this 4 TB SAS drive work in my older PowerEdge R630 or T430 that currently runs 2 TB SATA disks?
Yes — the R630 and T430 support 12 Gb/s SAS 3.5" hot-swap bays, so the drive fits mechanically and negotiates at the controller's maximum speed.
