Questions about this item

Does my system need a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or controller for this 12TB 7200 RPM drive to operate?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and is validated for Dell PowerEdge 12G, 13G servers and Tower 12G, 14G servers; a compatible SAS controller or backplane is required.

Will this 3.5" SAS drive fit and function in a Dell PowerEdge R720 that currently runs 6Gb/s SAS drives?

The kit is listed for R720 and other 12G/13G PowerEdge models; it will install in the same 3.5" bays and negotiate link speed with the existing 6Gb/s backplane.

After installation, how can I confirm the drive is recognised at 12Gb/s and shows the full 12TB capacity?

Check the server BIOS or RAID controller utility — it should report the drive model, 12TB capacity and a negotiated SAS 12Gb/s link speed.
