Dell 400-ALCJ 6TB SAS Drive

This Dell 400-ALCJ is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server storage. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive is supplied as a bare unit with a hot-swap tray. It is suited for capacity-focused arrays and nearline workloads.

Best for SAS bays needing hot-swap

This drive fits 3.5-inch SAS drive bays that support 12Gb/s transfer rates and hot-swap trays. It is not for systems that only accept 2.5-inch form factors. It is not for builds requiring an interface other than SAS. Buyers needing lower rotational speeds or different capacities should look at other models.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. The host controller or backplane must support this exact interface and speed. A 6Gb/s-only SAS port will limit throughput. Verify the system accepts 3.5-inch hot-swap drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 6 TB capacity or a smaller drive for my Dell server?

The 400-ALCJ provides 6 TB in a single 3.5" bay, so you get maximum density without adding extra drives.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS link perform inside a real chassis?

The 12 Gb/s interface delivers up to 12 Gb/s throughput when the controller and backplane both support that speed; actual sustained rates depend on the 7.2 K RPM platters.

What does the SAS 12 Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The SAS 12 Gb/s connection caps the burst transfer at 12 Gb/s, while the 7.2 K RPM mechanism determines sustained read and write performance.
