Dell 400-AIWZ 6 TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AIWZ is a new 6 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive that uses a SAS 12 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. It is supplied as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for tool-less installation in compatible bays.

Server and array builders needing high-capacity

This drive suits servers, storage arrays and workstations that accept 3.5 inch SAS devices and can use the 12 Gb/s transfer rate. It is not for systems that only support smaller form factors or lack a SAS controller and backplane.

SAS 12 Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12 Gb/s interface combined with the 3.5 inch hot-swap form factor. Verify that your chassis and controller support this exact interface and physical size before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a SAS 12Gb/s controller to use the 400-AIWZ 6TB drive?

Yes, the drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface so the host controller or backplane must support that link speed for the drive to operate.

Will this 3.5" hot-swap drive fit in a tray designed for earlier 3.5" SAS drives?

The 3.5" form factor matches standard drive bays and the hot-swap tray type follows common SAS dimensions, so it fits existing 3.5" hot-swap carriers.

How can I verify the 400-AIWZ is running at 7200 RPM and 12Gb/s after installation?

Check the drive’s reported speed in the RAID or HBA BIOS, or use a SMART tool that shows the negotiated link rate and rotational speed.
