Dell 4TB 7.2K SAS Hard Drive
The Dell 400-AIWW is a 4TB 3.5-inch nearline hard drive spinning at 7.2K RPM. It connects through a SAS 12Gbps interface and supports hot-plug installation. This drive suits servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity bulk storage with enterprise-grade reliability.
SAS 12Gbps Interface Limits
The SAS 12Gbps interface provides a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 12 Gbps per lane. Real-world throughput depends on the host controller, backplane design and cable quality. The mechanical 7.2K RPM speed limits sustained transfer rates well below the interface ceiling. Buyers needing lower latency or higher IOPS should consider solid-state alternatives.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 4TB version or a different capacity?
The 4TB model provides four terabytes of storage in a single 3.5 inch drive bay, using the SAS 12Gbps interface for direct connection to a compatible controller.
What does the 7.2K speed mean for actual performance?
A 7.2K rotational speed delivers consistent sequential throughput for near-line workloads such as backups, archives and bulk data storage on SAS 12Gbps systems.
