Enterprise SAS storage
This Dell 400-ARDX is an 8 TB 3.5 inch SAS hard drive built for Dell PowerEdge servers. It uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface and spins at 7.2K RPM. The drive supports hot swap and carries FIPS certification for encryption. It is intended for enterprise server deployments only.
Capacity and workload fit
The 8 TB capacity suits bulk data, backup targets and nearline archives in compatible PowerEdge systems. Sequential throughput is adequate for large-file streaming and sequential write workloads. Random I/O performance will saturate well before the interface limit under heavy mixed workloads. The drive is not designed for high-transaction databases or low-latency primary storage.
SAS interface practical limits
The 12 Gbps SAS link provides generous headroom for the drive’s sustained transfer rates. Real-world throughput is bounded by the 7.2K RPM mechanics, not the interface. Cable length, backplane topology and controller queue depth become the limiting factors in large arrays. The drive will not saturate the SAS bus under typical enterprise workloads.

Fragen zu diesem Artikel
Will the 400-ARDX 8TB SAS drive work in my older PowerEdge server that only supports 6Gbps SAS?
The 400-ARDX is a 12Gbps SAS drive and will negotiate down to 6Gbps when installed in a compatible PowerEdge server with a 6Gbps backplane, though sustained throughput will be limited to the slower link speed.
How can I verify the 400-ARDX is operating at its rated 7.2K RPM and 12Gbps link speed after installation?
Check the drive properties in the iDRAC or RAID controller BIOS; it should report 8TB capacity, 7.2K RPM spindle speed and a negotiated 12Gbps SAS link rate when connected to a supported 12Gbps backplane.
Does the 400-ARDX ship with a 3.5-inch hot-swap tray for my PowerEdge, or do I need to order one separately?
The tray sticker may not be included and the listing notes to specify the HDD tray at checkout, so the drive itself does not guarantee a tray; order the correct PowerEdge 3.5-inch hot-swap carrier separately if you do not already have one.
