6 TB SAS desktop drive

The Dell 400-AFPE is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop chassis that accept SAS connections. It delivers 6 TB of storage on a 7.2 K spindle with a 6 Gb SAS interface and ships in a non hot-swap tray suitable for fixed-bay installations.

Capacity and headroom

Six terabytes provides ample room for bulk media libraries, local backups and archival workloads that stream sequentially. The 7.2 K rotational speed limits random IO performance so databases or virtualisation clusters that demand low latency will saturate the drive quickly.

Highlights

  • 6 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • SAS interface supports 6 Gb/s transfer rates
  • 2 K rpm spindle speed delivers consistent throughput
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5 inch SAS drive fit and communicate with my older SAS backplane that only supports 6 Gb/s?

Yes, the drive uses a standard 3.5 inch SAS interface and operates at 7.2K RPM with a 6 Gb/s link speed, matching the backplane capability.

How can I confirm the 6TB SAS drive is healthy and performing at 7.2K RPM after installation?

Run the manufacturer diagnostic utility or check SMART attributes for reallocated sectors and verify the reported rotational speed is 7.2K RPM.
