Dell 400-AMXK 6TB SAS Hard Drive
The Dell 400-AMXK is a new 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s. It spins at 7.2K RPM and supports hot-swap installation for compatible server or storage bays.
Suits administrators needing high-capacity
Buyers whose systems lack a SAS backplane or controller cannot install this drive. It is also unsuitable for builds requiring 2.5-inch form factors or interfaces other than SAS.
Highlights
- High-capacity 6 TB storage for demanding workloads
- 12 Gb/s SAS interface enables fast data transfer
- 2 K RPM spindle speed balances performance and efficiency
- 5-inch hot-swap form factor simplifies drive replacement

Questions about this item
What real-world throughput can I expect from the 12 Gb/s SAS interface once the drive is installed?
The 12 Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum bus bandwidth, but actual sustained transfer rates are limited by the 7.2K rotational speed and the drive's internal media transfer capability, which is lower than the interface ceiling.
What does the 12 Gb/s SAS rating cap in practice for this 3.5 inch drive?
The 12 Gb/s SAS interface caps the host-bus bandwidth, while the 7.2K spindle speed governs the maximum sequential read and write performance the drive can deliver to that bus.
