SKU CH-6TK2-0Y2BK MPN 400-AUXC

An 8 TB SAS hard drive with a 7.2K spindle and 12 Gbps interface in a 3.5 LFF hot-swap form factor for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • 8 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 2 K RPM spindle delivers steady throughput
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface moves data fast
  • 5 LFF form factor fits enterprise bays
  • Hot-swap tray allows drive changes without downtime

Enterprise storage capacity

The DELL 400-AUXC provides 8TB of storage on a 3.5 LFF SAS interface spinning at 7.2K RPM. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that require high-capacity nearline drives in a hot-swap tray configuration. This drive suits administrators expanding array capacity in compatible enterprise chassis.

Hot-swap tray installation

The drive slides into a Dell PowerEdge hot-swap bay using the server-specific tray that must be specified at checkout. A tray sticker may not be included, so installers should verify the tray part number against the server service manual before seating the drive. No additional cabling is required beyond the backplane SAS connection.

Sustained nearline workloads

At 7.2K RPM the drive delivers steady throughput for sequential workloads such as backup, archival and bulk data ingest rather than burst-oriented transaction processing. The 12Gbps SAS link maintains consistent bandwidth during extended write passes across the full 8TB capacity. Thermal output remains stable in multi-drive arrays with proper chassis airflow.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 12 Gbps SAS link is active after installing the 400-AUXC?

Check the server BIOS or RAID controller utility — it should report a 12 Gbps SAS connection and show the 8 TB capacity with no errors.

Does the 400-AUXC ship with a hot-swap tray or must I order one separately?

The drive is sold as a bare 3.5 LFF unit; the tray sticker may not be included and the notes ask you to specify the correct Dell PowerEdge tray at checkout.

Which capacity of the 400-AUXC line should I pick for a Dell PowerEdge array?

This MPN is the 8 TB model; choose it when you need that exact capacity for your PowerEdge server.
