8 TB SAS enterprise drive
The Dell G14 118000275 is a 3.5 inch enterprise hard drive built for 12 Gb/s SAS interfaces. It delivers 8 TB of capacity using CMR recording technology at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache. The drive ships installed in a Dell G14 tray and supports hot-swap operation in compatible bays.
Replaces slower or smaller SAS drives
This model suits upgrades from lower-capacity or lower-speed SAS units when sustained throughput up to 225 MB/s is required. The jump is worth it for workloads such as backup, archiving, big-data analytics or cloud deployments that need consistent write performance. It fits 14th, 15th and 16th generation PowerEdge rack servers plus T-series towers with 3.5 inch chassis.
Check SAS controller and tray compatibility
Verify that your server or storage array accepts 12 Gb/s SAS drives and has an available 3.5 inch hot-swap bay. Confirm the system supports 4Kn sector formatting before ordering. The drive is qualified for the PowerEdge models listed in the specifications; other platforms may require firmware validation.

Questions about this item
What physical space is needed to install the 3.5in 118000275 drive?
The drive uses a standard 3.5in form factor and ships inside the Dell G14 tray X7K8W, so it fits any 3.5in hot-swap bay in the listed PowerEdge 14G, 15G and 16G rack or tower servers.
How is the 118000275 drive installed, and which step is often missed?
Slide the tray into a 3.5in SAS bay until the connector seats firmly; the step often missed is pushing the tray handle fully closed so the drive locks and the hot-plug signal registers with the backplane.
What maintenance does the 8TB SAS drive need during long-term operation?
No scheduled internal maintenance is required; monitor SMART attributes and the sustained 225 MB/s transfer rate, and replace the unit if reallocated sectors or throughput drops appear.
