Dell 400-AMPO 8 TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AMPO is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server bays that accept SAS 12Gb/s connections. It suits administrators expanding nearline storage arrays or workstations that need high-capacity bulk storage on a standard SAS backplane.

Bare drive with hot-swap tray support

The unit ships as a bare drive without cables, brackets or software; the hot-swap tray design allows tool-less insertion into compatible Dell enclosures. Buyers must supply their own SAS host adapter, backplane power and any mounting hardware required by non-Dell chassis.

8 TB at 7200 RPM for sequential workloads

Eight terabytes at 7.2K RPM delivers steady throughput for sequential reads such as backup targets, media archives or surveillance footage. Random I/O intensive databases, virtualisation hosts or boot volumes will saturate the mechanical latency well before the capacity fills.

Questions about this item

What parts of the 400-AMPO 8TB 3.5" SAS drive might wear out and need replacement after long-term use?

The 7200 RPM platters and actuator are the mechanical components that degrade over time; the SAS interface and hot-swap tray do not wear out.

Which limit appears first when the 400-AMPO 8TB 3.5" SAS drive runs sustained workloads?

The 7.2K spindle speed caps sustained throughput well before the 12Gb/s SAS link saturates.

How much noise, heat and power does the 400-AMPO 8TB 3.5" SAS drive produce when running all day?

As a 7200 RPM nearline SAS drive it generates typical mechanical noise, moderate heat and steady power draw for its class.
