Dell 400-ASIB 8 TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-ASIB is an 8 TB nearline SAS hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity bulk storage. It fits 3.5-inch hot-swap bays and connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface for direct attachment to RAID controllers or backplanes.

Capacity and throughput limits

Eight terabytes provides ample room for archives, backups and large media libraries on a single spindle. The 7200 RPM platters deliver sustained throughput suited to sequential workloads, while random I/O performance will saturate well before the 12 Gb/s link in multi-user database or virtualisation scenarios.

Hot-swap tray and bare-drive delivery

A hot-swap carrier allows drive replacement without powering down the chassis, reducing service windows in rack environments. The drive ships as a bare unit without cables or mounting screws, so installers must confirm tray compatibility with their specific Dell enclosure or server model.

Questions about this item

Will the 400-ASIB drive work in a server that only has 6 Gb/s SAS backplanes?

The drive uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s on older backplanes, so it will function but at the lower speed.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed is active after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS or use a SMART monitoring tool that displays the nominal RPM value.

Does the bare drive include a hot-swap tray or must I supply my own?

The unit is shipped as a bare drive without a tray; you will need a compatible 3.5" hot-swap carrier for your chassis.
