8 TB enterprise SAS drive

The Dell 400-AURZ is an 8 TB 3.5-inch large-form-factor hard drive built for Dell PowerEdge servers. It spins at 7.2K rpm and communicates over a 12 Gbps SAS interface with hot-swap capability. The unit ships new in OEM or retail packaging that may vary, and the tray sticker may not be included. Condition is new and the product line is Dell Enterprise.

Suited for server arrays not home PCs

This drive suits administrators expanding storage in compatible Dell PowerEdge systems that accept 12 Gbps SAS large-form-factor bays. Buyers who need a drive for a desktop motherboard or consumer NAS should look elsewhere because the SAS signalling and firmware are designed for enterprise RAID controllers. The hot-swap tray is required for installation and must be specified at checkout.

12 Gbps SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 12 Gbps SAS interface. Only backplanes and controllers that support 12 Gbps SAS large-form-factor drives will recognise and negotiate the correct link speed. Verify the server model and tray compatibility before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 400-AURZ drive is spinning at 7.2K RPM and communicating over 12Gbps SAS after installation?

Check the server BIOS or RAID controller interface for the detected spindle speed of 7.2K RPM and a negotiated link rate of 12Gbps SAS on the drive port.

Does the 400-AURZ ship with a hot-swap tray or must I order the correct Dell PowerEdge tray separately?

The drive is sold as a bare 3.5 LFF unit; the hot-swap tray is not included and the correct Dell PowerEdge tray must be specified at checkout.

Is the 8TB 400-AURZ the only capacity available in this 7.2K 12Gbps SAS line for my PowerEdge server?

The listed model is the 8TB capacity; other capacities in the same 7.2K 12Gbps SAS family would carry different part numbers not shown here.
