Dell 400-ALOV 4 TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-ALOV is a 4 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server storage arrays. It uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive is supplied new in original Dell packaging. It suits administrators who need reliable nearline capacity in a standard chassis.

4 TB capacity with 12 Gb/s throughput

Four terabytes provide room for large datasets, backups and archival workloads. The 12 Gb/s SAS link delivers consistent bandwidth for sequential reads and writes. Performance tapers under heavy random I/O or sustained multi-stream workloads where solid-state media would be faster. The 7200 RPM spindle limits latency-sensitive applications.

Hot-swap 3.5 inch form factor for SAS backplanes

The drive fits a standard 3.5 inch hot-swap bay with a SAS backplane and compatible controller. No separate power adapter is required beyond the backplane supply. The tray-mounted design frees internal cabling space and allows tool-less replacement during maintenance. Systems without SAS infrastructure cannot use this drive.

Questions about this item

Will the 400-ALOV drive work with my existing SAS 6Gb/s backplane?

The 12Gb/s interface negotiates down to 6Gb/s, so the 4TB drive will operate on your current backplane at the lower link speed.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle is running correctly after installation?

Listen for the characteristic 7.2K hum and check SMART data for a stable rotational-speed reading that matches the rated 7200 RPM.

Does the 3.5" 400-ALOV ship with a hot-swap tray or must I buy one separately?

The drive is supplied in a hot-swap tray (HS), so no separate caddy is required for Dell bays that accept that tray type.
