16 TB SAS Enterprise Drive

This 16 TB enterprise hard drive uses a 7.2 K RPM spindle and a 256 MB cache to deliver sustained transfer rates up to 261 MB/s. It is built for servers, storage arrays and workstations that need high-capacity bulk storage with consistent throughput. The helium-sealed design supports power efficiency optimisation and low-halogen materials. It ships in a 3.5 inch tray compatible with Generation 8 and Generation 9 ProLiant systems.

SAS 12 Gb/s Interface Limits

The SAS 12 Gb/s interface provides high-throughput performance for enterprise workloads. Actual sustained transfer will not exceed 261 MB/s regardless of the controller link speed. CMR recording technology ensures reliable performance and broad compatibility with existing RAID configurations. The drive uses a 512e sector format that requires operating system and controller support for emulated 512-byte sectors.

Check Controller and Tray Compatibility

Verify that your RAID controller or HBA supports SAS 12 Gb/s and 512e sector emulation before ordering. Confirm the 3.5 inch form factor fits your drive bay and that the included tray matches your Generation 8 or Generation 9 ProLiant chassis. Buyers who need a different interface protocol or a smaller form factor should consider other models.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 TB helium-sealed version or a smaller air-filled model?

The 16 TB helium-sealed design delivers the highest capacity in a single 3.5-inch bay while using less power than multiple smaller drives, making it the efficient choice for dense arrays.

What does the 261 MB/s sustained transfer rate mean for my server workload?

That rate reflects real-world sequential throughput from the 7,200 RPM platters, so large backup jobs and streaming analytics will run near that speed continuously.

How does the SAS 12 Gb/s interface affect actual performance in a Gen8 ProLiant?

The 12 Gb/s SAS link provides ample headroom above the 261 MB/s media speed, so the drive saturates its own mechanical limit rather than the bus.
