Enterprise capacity drive

The Seagate Exos 7E8 ST6000NM0115 is a 6TB 3.5" internal hard drive built for desktop and server storage. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface with a 128MB cache. The 512e format supports broad operating-system compatibility.

Suits bulk storage arrays

This drive suits users who need high-capacity, 7200 RPM storage for RAID sets, NAS units or archival workloads. Buyers who want solid-state speed, a 2.5" form factor or a non-SATA interface should look at something else.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a standard SATA data and power connection for the drive to operate.

Questions about this item

Will the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface on the ST6000NM0115 work with my older motherboard that only has SATA 3.0Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s ports; the drive will operate at the slower 3.0Gb/s speed on that motherboard.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 128MB cache are recognised correctly after installing the drive?

Check the drive details in your BIOS or UEFI firmware, or use a system information tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or hdparm to confirm the reported rotation rate and cache size.

Does the ST6000NM0115 include mounting screws or a SATA data cable, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch unit; mounting screws and a SATA data cable are not included and must be sourced separately.
