Dell 400-AMPG 8TB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 400-AMPG is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface for high-throughput data access. Designed for 24x7 operation in data centres, it targets IT administrators expanding storage arrays in compatible Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems.

G13 Hot-Plug Carrier Included

The drive ships in secure packaging with a generation 13 hot-plug carrier pre-attached. This carrier allows tool-less installation and removal while the server remains powered on, reducing downtime during maintenance or capacity upgrades. The 512e sector format ensures broad compatibility with supported operating systems and hypervisors.

Suits 13G PowerEdge and PowerVault Bays

This drive fits directly into listed 13G PowerEdge models such as the R730, R730XD, R430, R530, T430, R230, R330 and T330, plus PowerVault ME4012 and ME412 enclosures. Buyers needing non-SAS interfaces, different form factors, or support for VMware on 512e drives should look at alternative storage options.
