Dell 400-AFPE 6 TB Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AFPE is a 6 TB 3.5 inch nearline SAS hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 6 Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive and carries the original Dell part number 400-AFPE. This drive suits servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity bulk storage on a SAS backbone.

Suited for SAS-based nearline storage tiers

It fits administrators expanding nearline capacity in Dell PowerEdge or compatible SAS environments where 7.2K spindle speed meets the workload profile. It is not for systems that require 2.5 inch form factors or drives with a different interface protocol. Buyers needing faster random-access performance should consider solid-state alternatives.

SAS 6 Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 6 Gb/s interface; the host backplane or controller must support this exact link speed and protocol. Verify that the drive bay accepts 3.5 inch SAS devices before purchase.
