Our take
For those needing a high-capacity, reliable drive for a desktop workstation or a compatible server, the HGST Ultrastar He8 provides 8TB of storage with a solid 7200 RPM performance. The SAS interface is geared towards more robust systems than typical consumer SATA drives, indicating its intended use in higher-demand scenarios. The 128 MB cache is a good addition for helping manage data flow. Keep in mind that 'PC Compatible' here likely refers to systems with SAS controllers, not just any standard desktop.
