Lenovo 8TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS Nearline HDD

The Lenovo 01GT912 is an internal 3.5-inch nearline hard drive that gives servers and storage arrays an 8 TB pool of dependable space. Built around a 7200 RPM spindle, it provides the sustained throughput that backup sets, video archives, and large data logs demand without the latency penalties of slower archival media.

This drive uses a 7-pin SAS connector and communicates through the nearline SAS protocol, a design that blends high-capacity traits from traditional enterprise SATA with the dual-port resiliency and full-duplex performance of SAS. Administrators gain flexible cabling options and the ability to run large drive shelves while keeping data paths redundant.

Hot-swap support means the 01GT912 can be inserted or removed from compatible enclosures such as the Lenovo Storage D3284 without shutting down the host system. Maintenance windows become shorter, and critical applications continue to run while drives are replaced or added.

Whether you manage a video surveillance archive, a virtual machine backup repository, or a departmental file share that has outgrown smaller disks, this drive fits naturally. Its 8 TB capacity helps consolidate older volumes, while the 7200 RPM mechanism maintains consistent transfer rates that keep nightly backup jobs on schedule.
