Capacity and interface

This is a 4 TB 3.5-inch hard drive with a SAS 12 Gb/s interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for enterprise storage arrays that need high-capacity nearline storage in a standard drive bay.

Upgrade path

The drive replaces lower-capacity SAS nearline units or older 6 Gb/s SAS drives when more raw capacity is required on the same backplane. The jump is worth it when storage pools need denser drives without changing the controller or enclosure.

Build integration

The bare drive fits 3.5-inch hot-plug trays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault servers. It uses the existing SAS backplane and controller, freeing additional drive slots for future expansion.

Questions about this item

What drive bay size and tray does the 3.5" SAS drive require?

The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard 3.5 inch bays and ships with a hot-plug tray for PowerEdge and PowerVault servers.

How is the 400-26604 installed and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-plug bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the SAS 12Gb/s link is active in the RAID controller BIOS.

When will the 7200 RPM nearline drive need replacement in an enterprise array?

Replace the drive when SMART reallocated sectors rise or after the rated annualised workload limit for nearline SAS drives is reached.
