12TB SAS drive for Dell PowerEdge servers

The Dell 0F29535 is a 12TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for PowerEdge Gen14 servers such as the R440, R540, R640, R740, R740XD, C6420, R6415, R7415 and R7425. It uses a SAS 12Gbps interface and spins at 7200RPM. The drive is suited to administrators who need high-capacity bulk storage in compatible Dell chassis.

12TB capacity with 256MB cache for sequential

The 12TB capacity provides substantial space for archives, backups and large datasets, while the 256MB buffer helps sustain sequential transfers. Random I/O performance is limited by the 7200RPM spindle speed, so workloads demanding low latency or high IOPS will exhaust the drive’s capabilities quickly.

7200RPM operation in server drive bays

At 7200RPM the drive produces typical mechanical noise and vibration levels for a 3.5-inch enterprise HDD. Heat output scales with continuous throughput, so adequate chassis airflow is required to keep temperatures within specification. Power draw follows standard enterprise 3.5-inch SAS patterns during active and idle states.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gbps SAS interface on this 12TB drive negotiate down to 6Gbps on my older controller?

The 12Gbps SAS interface is backward compatible and will negotiate to 6Gbps or 3Gbps when connected to an older controller.

How can I verify the 7200RPM spindle and 256MB cache are recognised after installation?

Check the drive details in your RAID controller BIOS or OS utility; it should report 7200RPM rotational speed and a 256MB buffer.

Does the 3.5" LFF form factor include a Dell caddy for the PowerEdge R740, or must I buy one separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5" mechanism; a Dell hot-plug caddy for the R740 or other compatible PowerEdge server must be purchased separately.
