12 TB SAS enterprise drive

This 12 TB 3.5-inch hard drive uses a SAS interface and spins at 7.2K RPM. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays that require high-capacity nearline storage. The drive includes 512e formatting, SED encryption and FIPS validation for data security.

SAS 12 Gbps interface limits

The SAS 12 Gbps link sets the maximum theoretical throughput for this drive. Real-world sustained transfer rates are lower and depend on the controller, backplane and workload mix. Random I/O performance is constrained by the 7.2K rotational speed and mechanical latency.

12 TB capacity and headroom

Twelve terabytes provides ample space for bulk data, backups and archival workloads. The drive handles sequential reads and writes comfortably within its nearline rating. Heavy random write workloads or sustained high-queue-depth I/O will exhaust IOPS headroom before capacity fills.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12TB 7.2K SAS model or a smaller capacity for my PowerEdge R740?

The 12TB 7.2K SAS drive maximises capacity per bay in the R740; select a smaller drive only if your workload needs higher IOPS per terabyte or a lower upfront cost per drive.

What does the 7.2K spindle speed mean for real-world throughput in a server?

At 7.2K RPM the drive delivers sustained sequential throughput suited for bulk storage, archiving and nearline workloads; random I/O performance will be lower than faster-spinning drives.

How does the 12Gbps SAS interface affect usable bandwidth in a Dell PowerEdge chassis?

The 12Gbps SAS link provides up to 12Gbps per port; actual throughput is limited by the drive's mechanical speed and the backplane or controller it connects to.
