DELL

DELL 400-AIUC 6TB 7200 RPM SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-BP9Z-EPMWZ MPN 400-AIUC

A 6 TB, 7200 RPM SAS hard drive in a 3.5 inch form factor for enterprise storage

  • 6 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers quick data access
  • SAS 12 Gb/s interface enables fast transfer rates
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard desktop bays
  • Dell enterprise-class design built for continuous operation

Capacity and interface

The Dell 400-AIUC is a 6 TB enterprise-class hard drive with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface in a 3.5 inch form factor. It targets servers and storage arrays that require consistent throughput for bulk data workloads. The 7200 RPM spindle speed supports sequential access patterns common in backup and archiving tasks.

Thermals and power in normal use

The drive operates at 7200 RPM with a SAS 12 Gb/s link during typical read and write activity. Power draw scales with spindle rotation and controller load in standard operating temperatures. Acoustic output remains within enterprise drive expectations for rack-mounted environments.

Behaviour under sustained load

Continuous sequential workloads keep the spindle at 7200 RPM and the SAS link active at 12 Gb/s for extended periods. Thermal output rises proportionally to sustained duty cycle rather than short bursts. The enterprise firmware maintains error recovery and write verification throughout long operations.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 400-AIUC 6TB SAS 3.5" drive into a 13G server tray?

Slide the drive into the 3.5-inch bay until the SAS connector seats fully, then secure the tray latch; the step often missed is not pressing the drive firmly enough to engage the 12Gb/s backplane pins.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST6000NM0095 7200 RPM drive need later?

Enterprise-class bearings are sealed for the rated service life; replacement is only required if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or the drive exceeds its workload rating.

What limit appears first on the 6TB SAS drive under sustained write workloads?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface and 7200 RPM spindle cap sustained throughput; thermal throttling engages before the interface saturates during continuous sequential writes.
