Dell 8TB SAS 12Gb/s Internal Drive

This new Dell 400-AUXC provides 8TB of storage in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM for fast disk access. The NLSAS technology delivers enhanced data transfer speeds for demanding workloads.

Suited for servers and arrays needing

It fits systems that accept 3.5-inch SAS drives and can use the 12Gb/s interface. Buyers whose hardware requires 512n sector geometry or whose operating systems lack support for advanced format drives should look elsewhere. VMware environments specifically do not support 512e or 4Kn hard drives.

Sector format and OS compatibility decide fit

The drive uses 512e or 4Kn sector formats rather than legacy 512n. Windows Server 2008 R2 or newer is required for 512e, while 4Kn needs Windows Server 2012 with UEFI boot or compatible Linux distributions. Verify your controller and OS match these requirements before purchase.
