6 TB SAS 12 Gb/s enterprise drive

The Seagate EXOS ST6000NM0095 is a 6 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and 256 MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require high-capacity, high-throughput bulk storage. The drive is supplied new and ready for deployment in compatible 3.5-inch bays.

Suited for SAS-equipped servers and arrays

This drive fits systems that accept a 3.5-inch SAS device running at 12 Gb/s and can supply the necessary power and cooling for a 7200 RPM mechanical disk. Buyers whose chassis or controller only support slower SAS speeds, smaller form factors, or a different interface protocol cannot use this unit. It is also unsuitable for environments that demand solid-state latency or silent operation.

12 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface. The host backplane, HBA or RAID controller must provide a matching 12 Gb/s SAS connection; any other interface or speed will prevent the drive from functioning.

  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers fast sequential access
  • 12 Gb/s SAS interface enables high-throughput transfers

Questions about this item

What does the SAS 12Gb/s interface cap at in practice?

The SAS 12Gb/s interface supports up to 12 Gb/s per lane; real-world throughput depends on the host controller and cable quality.

What physical space and power connectors does the 3.5in drive require?

It fits a standard 3.5in drive bay and uses a combined SAS data and power connector; ensure the backplane or caddy supplies 12 V and 5 V rails.

How is the drive installed in a server chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a hot-swap tray or fixed bay until the SAS connector seats firmly, then secure the tray latch; the step often missed is verifying the latch clicks fully to guarantee electrical contact.
