Dell 16TB 7.2K SATA 3.5in LFF Hard Drive

Sixteen terabytes in one 3.5in LFF bay is the main reason to choose the Dell HPGJ4. The drive spins at 7,200 RPM and uses a SATA interface, so it connects to standard SATA ports and backplanes without a SAS controller.

A drive like this suits capacity-first work: backup repositories, archives, surveillance storage and large file shares. For workloads with heavy random I/O, a faster SAS drive or an SSD is the better fit.

If you are filling a full chassis or a new array, count the LFF bays you need to populate and include spares in the total. That keeps every drive in the array the same model.

The HPGJ4 is available New, Refurbished or Used. New and Refurbished drives come with a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and Used drives with 90 days.
