Dell 8 TB 12 Gb/s SAS hard drive

This Dell EXOS 7E8 drive delivers 8 TB of storage on a 3.5 inch SAS 12 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides a 512 MB buffer for sustained throughput. The unit is new and built for compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. It installs directly into supported 3.5 inch drive bays with the correct caddy.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The drive fits Dell servers such as the T130, T330, T440, T630, T640, R230, R330, R430, R530, R630, R730, R730xd, R830, R930 and the MD1200, MD1220, ME4012 and ME4024 storage platforms. Buyers who need a different interface or a form factor other than 3.5 inch should look elsewhere. Systems without a SAS backplane or without the required Dell caddy cannot use this drive.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fitment is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface combined with the Dell 3.5 inch caddy requirement. Only servers and enclosures listed in the compatibility list can accept this drive. Verify the exact model number ST8000NM0185 against your hardware before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" SAS drive fit in a standard 3.5-inch bay?

The drive uses the 3.5-inch form factor and mounts in any standard 3.5-inch bay with four side screws.

How do I install the 12Gb/s SAS drive in a Dell server?

Slide the drive into a compatible Dell caddy, secure it with the caddy screws, then insert the assembly into the server bay until the latch clicks.

When should I replace the 7200RPM SAS drive?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, seek errors rise, or the 512MB cache can no longer mask latency during heavy workloads.
