Dell 400-AHIW 8 TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AHIW is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with an 8 TB capacity and a SAS interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and carries the Dell part number F238F for identification. This new drive is intended for desktop or server storage arrays that accept 3.5-inch SAS devices.

Suited for SAS-based arrays

This drive suits administrators expanding a SAS backplane or RAID enclosure where 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8 TB per bay are required. Systems that lack a SAS controller or backplane cannot connect this unit. Buyers needing a different physical size or a non-SAS interface should consider other options.

SAS interface determines host compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS interface, which requires a compatible controller or backplane with the appropriate SAS connectors. Without that interface the drive cannot be installed or used. Verify the host platform provides SAS connectivity before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 400-AHIW ship with cables or a mounting bracket, or must they be bought separately?

The drive is supplied in retail or OEM packaging that may vary; cables and brackets are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I decide between the 8 TB 7.2K SAS model and a smaller-capacity SAS drive for my server?

Choose the 8 TB version when you need maximum raw capacity per bay; pick a smaller drive if your workload favours lower cost or faster rebuild times.

What does the 7.2K RPM rating mean for daily performance in a Dell PowerEdge array?

At 7200 RPM the drive delivers consistent sequential throughput for bulk storage, while random I/O latency suits nearline workloads rather than high-transaction databases.
