8 TB SAS drive for servers

The DELL 400-AHJB is an 8TB 3.5" internal hard drive built for SAS interfaces and spinning at 7200 RPM. It arrives new in retail or OEM packaging and targets storage arrays or servers that require high-capacity nearline drives.

Who this suits and who it does not

This drive suits administrators expanding SAS-attached arrays that need 8TB at 7200 RPM in a 3.5" bay. It does not suit buyers whose controllers accept only a different interface, builders needing a 2.5" form factor, or workloads demanding a rotational speed other than 7200 RPM.

Interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS interface; the drive must connect to a SAS controller or backplane that supports this protocol. Matching the 3.5" form factor and 7200 RPM speed to the bay and performance profile completes the check.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a free SAS connector to install this 400-AHJB drive?

Yes, the 400-AHJB uses a SAS interface so the host must provide an available SAS port and matching cable.

Will this 7200 RPM SAS drive work in a backplane built for 6 Gb/s SAS?

The drive is a 6G SAS model, so it will negotiate down to the backplane speed and operate normally.

How can I verify the 400-AHJB is healthy after installation?

Check that the BIOS or RAID controller detects the full 8TB capacity and run a SMART short self-test for errors.
