DELL 400-AFUY 6TB 7.2K SAS 3.5" 12Gb/s internal hard drive

Dell 6 TB SAS 12 Gb/s 3.5" Drive

This Dell enterprise-class hard drive delivers 6 TB of storage through a SAS interface running at 12 Gb/s. The 3.5-inch form factor spins at 7200 RPM for consistent throughput in server and storage-array workloads. It arrives new in a 13GEN kit ready for integration into compatible Dell systems.

Suited For And Limits

The drive suits administrators who need high-capacity, 12 Gb/s SAS storage in a standard 3.5-inch bay. Buyers whose controllers or backplanes only support SATA signalling cannot use this unit. Systems limited to 2.5-inch bays or lower SAS link speeds should evaluate other options before purchasing.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fitment is the 12 Gb/s SAS interface paired with a 3.5-inch 7200 RPM mechanical design. Only platforms with native 12 Gb/s SAS ports and 3.5-inch drive cages can exploit the full bandwidth and capacity. Verify controller and chassis compatibility against this interface before ordering.
