Dell 6TB Nearline SAS drive

The Dell 400-AFNY is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with 6TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle. It uses a Nearline SAS 6Gb/s interface and is designed for Dell PowerEdge servers including R320 R415 R420 R515 R520 R720 R720XD T320 T420 T620.

Hot-plug installation steps

The drive is hot-pluggable so it can be inserted into a compatible bay while the server is running. Ensure the carrier clicks fully into the backplane; a loose seat is the most common reason the drive is not recognised by the controller.

Check controller and bay compatibility

Verify that your PowerEdge model has a SAS backplane and a controller that supports 6Gb/s Nearline SAS drives. The 512E sector format requires a controller or operating system that can handle 512-byte emulation; older RAID firmware may need an update before the volume appears.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 6TB drive is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the SMART data or system BIOS to verify the spindle speed reports 7200 RPM and the SAS link shows 6Gb/s.

Does the 400-AFNY ship with a 3.5" SAS cable or tray, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied in retail or OEM packaging only; SAS cables and hot-swap trays are not included.

Should I choose the 6TB Nearline SAS model or a different capacity for a PowerEdge R720?

The 6TB 7.2K SAS drive is qualified for the R720; select a different capacity only if your storage budget or space needs differ.
