DELL 400-ALQD 4TB 7.2K 3.5" SAS 12Gbps Internal Hard Drive
A 4 TB 3.5-inch SAS internal hard drive spinning at 7.2K RPM with a 12 Gbps interface for near-line storage
- 4 TB capacity for high-density storage
- 2 K RPM spindle speed for consistent throughput
- 12 Gbps SAS interface for fast data transfer
- 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
Dell 4TB Near Line SAS Drive
The Dell 400-ALQD provides 4TB of storage in a 3.5 inch form factor for internal server bays. It spins at 7.2K rpm and connects through a 12Gbps SAS interface. This new drive is built for nearline workloads that demand consistent throughput.
Suits arrays needing high-capacity nearline storage
Buyers who require faster random-access speeds or a different physical interface should evaluate other drive types. Systems limited to slower SAS link rates will not utilise the full 12Gbps bandwidth. Environments needing smaller form factors must choose an alternative size.

Questions about this item
What sustained-transfer limit appears first when the 400-ALQD runs at its 7.2K spindle speed?
The 7.2K rpm spindle speed sets the mechanical ceiling for sustained throughput before any interface bottleneck is reached.
What noise and heat should I expect from the 400-ALQD when it spins continuously in a 3.5" bay?
A 7.2K near-line SAS drive in a 3.5" form factor produces typical rotational noise and moderate heat under constant operation.
