Dell 5WT78 6 TB SAS drive
The Dell 5WT78 is a new 6 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6 Gb/s interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It arrives as a bare drive with a tray for hot-swap bays in Dell PowerEdge servers. The nearline design targets bulk storage workloads in enterprise environments.
Suited for hot-swap server bays.
This drive fits administrators who need high-capacity nearline storage in a hot-swap SAS chassis. It is not for systems that lack a SAS backplane or controller, nor for laptops or small-form-factor enclosures that only accept 2.5-inch drives. Workloads requiring solid-state latency should consider a different media type.
SAS 6 Gb/s interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6 Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching SAS port and backplane. Without that connection the drive cannot communicate, regardless of capacity or spindle speed. Verify the server or controller supports 6 Gb/s SAS before purchase.

Questions about this item
What does the SAS 6 Gb/s interface limit in practice?
The SAS 6 Gb/s link caps the maximum data-transfer rate at six gigabits per second, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that ceiling.
What physical space does the 3.5 inch form factor and tray require?
The drive fits a standard 3.5 inch bay and ships with a tray that adds the necessary mounting points for a PowerEdge server chassis.
How is the hot-swap drive installed and what step is often missed?
Slide the tray into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step people forget is fully engaging the latch so the SAS and power connectors seat completely.
