Dell 400-AMGI 1.8TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AMGI is a 1.8TB internal hard drive built for Dell PowerVault MD3420 storage arrays. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor with a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s. The drive spins at 10000 RPM and includes self-encrypting technology for data security. It is designed for hot-swap installation in compatible enterprise bays.

Sustained enterprise workloads

The 10000 RPM spindle speed supports consistent throughput for random read and write operations across the 1.8TB capacity. Self-encrypting hardware handles encryption overhead without reducing sustained transfer rates on the 12Gb/s SAS link. Hot-plug capability allows drive replacement during array operation without downtime. The drive is qualified for continuous duty in the supported storage system.

Verify array compatibility and bay fit

Confirm the target system is a Dell PowerVault MD3420 or another array that explicitly lists the 400-AMGI part number as supported. Ensure the chassis provides 2.5 inch hot-swap bays with SAS backplane connections. Check that the storage controller firmware recognises self-encrypting drives for key management. The bare drive ships without a carrier or mounting hardware.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM drive produce when running continuously?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed and 2.5 inch form factor keep heat output moderate; the drive is rated for continuous operation in PowerVault MD3420 arrays.

Does my system need a 12Gb/s SAS backplane and hot-plug bays to use this 400-AMGI drive?

Yes, the 12Gb/s SAS interface and hot-pluggable design require a compatible SAS backplane with 2.5 inch hot-swap bays and a RAID controller or HBA that supports 12Gb/s SAS.

Will this 1.8TB SAS drive work in a Dell PowerVault MD3420 alongside older 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s SAS drives?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface negotiates down to 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s automatically, so the 1.8TB drive can share the same MD3420 enclosure with legacy SAS drives.
