DELL 8TB 7.2K 3.5" SAS 12Gbps internal hard drive (GKWHP)

8 TB SAS 12 Gb/s enterprise hard drive

This 3.5-inch drive delivers 8 TB of capacity over a 12 Gb/s SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require consistent throughput and dual-port reliability. The form factor fits standard hot-swap bays in rackmount and tower chassis.

Capacity and headroom for bulk workloads

Eight terabytes provide ample room for backups, archives and near-line data sets that grow steadily. Sequential reads and writes sustain typical streaming workloads, while random I/O handles moderate database or virtualization tasks. Very heavy random write loads or latency-critical applications will exceed the mechanical limits of a 7200 RPM spindle.

Tested firmware and ESD-safe packing

Each unit ships with updated firmware verified during pre-shipment testing to ensure compatibility with Dell controllers and enclosures. Components are guaranteed genuine and packed in anti-static packaging that protects the drive during transit. No cables, brackets or software utilities are included in the package.
