Dell 400-AKMJ 6 TB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AKMJ is a 6 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop and nearline server workloads. Its SAS 12Gb/s interface and 7200 RPM spindle suit bulk storage, backup targets and archival tasks that demand consistent throughput.

Installation and Common Issues

The bare drive fits any standard 3.5 inch bay and connects with a SAS data and power cable; no tray or caddy is included. Installers must verify that the host controller or backplane supports 12 Gb/s SAS, otherwise the link will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s and reduce available bandwidth.

Capacity and Headroom

Six terabytes provides ample room for large media libraries, VM images or long-term retention sets. Sequential workloads run near the 12 Gb/s interface limit, while random I/O and sustained multi-stream writes will saturate the mechanical latency of a 7.2K spindle before the bus is fully utilised.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive runs at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive properties in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system utilities; they will report the spindle speed as 7200 RPM for this model.

What is included with the bare drive and what must I source separately?

The shipment contains only the 3.5" SAS hard drive itself; you will need a compatible SAS backplane or HBA, power and data cables, and a drive tray or caddy for your chassis.

Which capacity version of the 400-AKMJ should I select for a 6 TB requirement?

The 400-AKMJ is offered in a single 6 TB capacity, so that version directly matches your 6 TB requirement.
