Silver 3.5 inch internal hard drive with SATA connector

DELL

DELL 400-AFYB 1 TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gbps 3.5" Hard Drive

SKU CH-XZCX-TP8WZ

A 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA 6Gbps 3.5" internal hard drive for Dell PowerEdge R430 servers

  • 1 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 rpm spindle speed delivers responsive data access
  • SATA 600 interface provides 6 Gbps transfer rate
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays
  • Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R430 and T430 servers

1 TB SATA hard drive for Dell PowerEdge servers

This 1 TB 3.5-inch internal drive uses a SATA 600 interface and spins at 7200 rpm. It is built for Dell PowerEdge R430 and T430 servers that need cabled bulk storage. Buyers who need a different form factor or a non-Dell chassis cannot use this unit.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 7200 rpm spindle delivers steady throughput for sequential read and write tasks such as backups or archival workloads. Mechanical latency limits random I/O performance compared with solid-state media. Workloads that demand consistently low latency or high IOPS will not be satisfied by this drive.

SATA 600 interface limits

The SATA 600 standard caps the maximum theoretical transfer rate at 6 Gbps. Real-world sustained speeds stay below that ceiling due to protocol overhead and mechanical constraints. Systems requiring faster bus saturation must use a different interface technology.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 7200 RPM SATA drive add when it runs continuously in a server?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed produces typical mechanical-drive heat and audible seek noise; Dell specifies it for continuous server duty in the PowerEdge R430 chassis.

What server tray or cabling must I already have to install this 3.5" SATA drive?

It fits a standard 3.5" cabled drive bay and connects via a SATA data and power cable; Dell lists compatibility with PowerEdge R430 and T430 servers.

Will this 1 TB SATA/600 drive work in an older Dell server that only supports SATA 3Gbps?

The SATA/600 interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gbps controllers, so the drive will operate at the slower link speed in earlier compatible Dell servers.
