Dell 400-ALCR 6 TB Nearline SAS Drive

This new Dell 400-ALCR is a 6 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for Dell PowerVault MD3400 storage systems. It uses a Nearline SAS interface running at 12 Gb/s with a 7200 rpm spindle speed. The drive is hot-swappable and ships in retail or OEM packaging.

Suits admins expanding a compatible Dell array

This drive fits administrators adding capacity to a Dell PowerVault MD3400 that accepts 3.5 inch Nearline SAS drives. It is not for buyers who need a different interface, a different form factor, or a drive qualified for non-Dell servers. It also does not suit users who want a solid-state device or a higher spindle speed.

Deciding spec: 12 Gb/s Nearline SAS interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 Gb/s Nearline SAS interface. Your chassis and controller must support this exact interface and the 3.5 inch hot-swap form factor. Without that match the drive will not install or function in the target system.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a 12Gb/s SAS backplane to use this 6TB 3.5" drive?

The drive uses a Near Line SAS interface running at 12Gb/s, so the host or backplane must support that standard for full performance.

Will this Near Line SAS drive work in a Dell PowerVault MD3400 that currently has older SAS drives?

Yes, it is listed as compatible with the Dell PowerVault MD3400 Storage System and will operate alongside existing SAS drives on the same bus.

How can I confirm the drive is running at 7200 rpm after installation?

Check the drive’s reported spindle speed in the storage controller BIOS or SMART data; it should show 7200 rpm for this model.
