Dell 6TB SAS hard drive for nearline storage
This Dell 400-ALCO drive provides 6TB of capacity in a 3.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SAS 12Gbps interface and uses 512e sector formatting. The spindle rotates at 7.2K rpm for nearline workloads.
Hot-plug design supports tray insertion without
The hot-plug tray allows drive replacement while the system remains powered. Nearline rotation speed limits heat output and acoustic profile in normal operation. Power draw stays consistent with 7.2K spindle characteristics. SAS signalling handles sustained throughput for array rebuilds.
Highlights
- 6 TB capacity for large-scale storage

Questions about this item
How do I install the 3.5" SAS drive and what step is often missed?
Slide the hot-plug carrier into a powered bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is seating the SAS connector fully so the 12 Gbps link negotiates.
What maintenance will the 6TB 7.2K drive need later?
Monitor SMART reallocated-sector counts and run periodic surface scans; replace the unit once reallocated sectors rise sharply or the drive exceeds its rated workload.
