Silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with hot-swap tray, new condition

DELL

DELL HUS728T8TAL5200 8TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS 3.5 internal hard drive

SKU CH-ABDX-107TH MPN HUS728T8TAL5200

An 8 TB enterprise hard drive with a 12 Gbps SAS interface and 7.2K RPM for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • 8 TB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface delivers high-throughput server connectivity
  • 2 K RPM spindle speed balances performance with nearline efficiency
  • 5 inch LFF form factor fits standard Dell PowerEdge drive bays
  • Hot-swap capability enables drive replacement without server downtime

Enterprise storage drive

The Dell HUS728T8TAL5200 is an 8TB 3.5 LFF SAS hard drive spinning at 7.2K rpm for nearline workloads. It uses a 12Gbps SAS interface and 512e sector format inside Dell PowerEdge servers. The unit is supplied new and supports hot-swap installation. A tray sticker may not be included.

Verify SAS backplane and tray

Confirm that your server chassis accepts 3.5 LFF SAS drives and provides a 12Gbps backplane. The drive requires a compatible Dell PowerEdge tray for hot-swap use; the sticker for that tray may be absent. Ensure the RAID controller or HBA presents a 12Gbps SAS port and supports 512e logical sectors. Home PC motherboards lack the necessary SAS connectors and firmware.

Sustained nearline throughput

At 7.2K rpm the drive delivers steady sequential bandwidth for bulk data ingest, backup targets and archive tiers. The 12Gbps SAS link keeps the interface from becoming the bottleneck during long write sequences. Rotational vibration tolerance in multi-drive enclosures maintains consistent latency. The 512e format avoids read-modify-write penalties on large-block workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the HUS728T8TAL5200 ship with a mounting tray for Dell PowerEdge servers?

The drive is sold as a bare unit; the tray sticker may not be included and a compatible Dell PowerEdge tray must be specified at checkout.

Should I choose the 512e or a 4Kn version of this 8 TB SAS drive?

This model uses 512e formatting, so select it when your server or RAID controller requires 512-byte emulation rather than native 4Kn sectors.

What does the 7.2 K RPM rating mean for throughput in a PowerEdge array?

At 7.2 K RPM with a 12 Gbps SAS link, the drive delivers nearline-class sequential throughput suited to bulk storage and archive workloads.
