6 TB SAS desktop drive

The Dell 400-AFPE is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop chassis that accept SAS connections. It delivers 6 TB of storage on a 7.2 K spindle with a 6 Gb SAS interface and ships in a non hot-swap tray suitable for fixed-bay installations.

Capacity and headroom

Six terabytes provides ample room for bulk media libraries, local backups and archival workloads that stream sequentially. The 7.2 K rotational speed limits random IO performance so databases or virtualisation clusters that demand low latency will saturate the drive quickly.
