Dell 87GNY 1.2 TB SAS Drive

The Dell 87GNY is a 2.5 inch SAS hard drive with a 1.2 TB capacity and a 10000 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface and supports hot-swap tray installation. This new drive is built for desktop internal storage bays.

Suited for High-IO Workloads

This drive suits servers and workstations that need fast random access for databases or virtualisation. It is not for buyers who need larger archival capacity or solid-state latency. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use it.

Sustained 12Gb/s SAS Throughput

Under continuous load the 12Gb/s SAS link maintains steady transfer rates without the throttling seen in burst-only benchmarks. The 10000 RPM platters deliver consistent IOPS for long-running jobs. Heat and vibration stay within enterprise specifications during extended operation.

Questions about this item

What host controller is needed to run the 87GNY at its 12Gb/s SAS interface?

A SAS 12Gb/s HBA or RAID card with a free SAS port will link to the drive’s native 12Gb/s SAS interface.

Will the 87GNY work in a chassis that currently uses 6Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s so the 1.2TB 10000 RPM drive operates alongside older SAS drives.

How can I verify the 87GNY is running at 10000 RPM and 12Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility — it should report 10000 RPM spindle speed and a 12Gb/s negotiated link rate for the 87GNY.
