Dell 400-AHIE 8 TB internal hard drive

This Dell 400-AHIE is an 8 TB internal hard drive built for desktop systems. It connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 128 MB buffer. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays in towers and workstations. It arrives new in retail or OEM packaging.

Suited for bulk storage in desktops and workstations

The drive serves well for large media libraries, backups and archival data where capacity per pound matters. It is not for buyers who need the low latency of solid state storage for operating systems or active workloads. Systems limited to the older SATA 3.0 Gb/s standard will operate the drive at the lower speed. Laptops and small-form-factor chassis that only accept 2.5 inch drives cannot use this unit.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and 7200 RPM spindle speed

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface sets the maximum host transfer rate at 600 MB/s. The 7200 RPM spindle speed determines the sustained throughput and access times you will see in daily use. Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port and a 3.5 inch bay with adequate cooling for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What SATA host-port speed does my motherboard need to run this 400-AHIE at its rated 6.0 Gb/s interface?

The drive uses the SATA 6.0 Gb/s standard, so the host controller must support SATA/600 to achieve the full transfer rate.

Can I keep my existing 3.5" SATA drives and add this 8 TB model without changing cables or power connectors?

Yes, it shares the same 3.5" form factor, SATA data and power connectors, so it fits alongside older SATA drives in the same bays.

How do I verify the 128 MB buffer and 7200 RPM spindle are active after installation?

Check the drive’s SMART data or BIOS identification — both will report 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 128 MB cache size.
