Dell 400-ALCM 6TB SAS Hard Drive

This new Dell 400-ALCM is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 7.2K spindle speed. It uses SLC NAND flash memory and supports hot-swap installation in compatible bays. The drive is built for desktop and server storage arrays.

Suits administrators needing hot-swap SAS storage

Buyers who require a different interface or protocol should look elsewhere. Those needing a 2.5-inch form factor or a non-hot-swap drive must choose another model.

Questions about this item

Does this 12Gb/s SAS drive need a matching 12Gb/s controller to work?

Yes — the 12Gb/s SAS interface requires a compatible 12Gb/s SAS HBA or RAID card; a 6Gb/s controller will limit the link to 6Gb/s.

Can I keep my existing 6Gb/s SAS backplane and still use this drive?

The drive will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on a 6Gb/s backplane, so it works but you lose the 12Gb/s bandwidth.
