DELL GKGNX 8TB 3.5" SAS 7200 RPM internal hard drive

Dell GKGNX 8TB Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell GKGNX is an 8TB 3.5" nearline SAS hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity bulk storage on a SAS backbone.

Bare drive packaging with hot-swap tray

The unit ships as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray included, so it can be inserted into compatible drive bays without cables or tools. No mounting screws, software utilities or documentation are supplied in the package.

Tool-less bay installation

The hot-swap tray allows tool-less insertion into supported Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault chassis. Installation fails when the backplane or RAID controller does not negotiate the 12Gb/s link, leaving the drive invisible to the system.
