Dell Enterprise 8 TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell ST8000NM0075 is an 8 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 512 MB cache and connects through a 12 Gbps SAS interface. A Dell-branded drive caddy is included for direct mounting in compatible Dell chassis.

Suited for RAID arrays and Dell servers.

This drive targets administrators expanding Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault systems that accept 12 Gbps SAS disks. The supplied caddy fits Dell drive bays, simplifying installation in those platforms. It is not suitable for desktop motherboards or laptops that lack a SAS host bus adapter and the correct physical bay.

12 Gbps SAS interface dictates compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the 12 Gbps SAS connection; the system must provide a SAS controller and backplane that support this speed. Without that interface the drive cannot communicate, regardless of capacity or form factor.

  • 7200 RPM spindle speed enables fast sequential access

Questions about this item

Will the 12 Gbps SAS interface on this 8 TB drive work with my existing 6 Gbps SAS controller?

The drive negotiates down to 6 Gbps on a 6 Gbps SAS controller, so it will operate correctly at the controller's maximum speed.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 512 MB cache are active after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed and cache size in your RAID controller BIOS or with a tool such as smartctl; both values should match the 7200 RPM and 512 MB specifications.

Does the included caddy fit a standard 3.5" drive bay, or do I need a separate mounting kit?

The supplied caddy is designed for Dell 3.5" hot-swap bays; if your chassis uses a different mounting pattern you will need a compatible adapter or tray.
