Dell 8TB Nearline SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AMSD is a new 8TB 3.5-inch nearline SAS hard drive spinning at 7.2K RPM with a 12Gb/s transfer rate. It ships as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for tool-less bay installation in compatible Dell servers and storage arrays.

Suits capacity-focused arrays

This drive suits administrators expanding nearline storage pools where sequential throughput and hot-swap serviceability matter. It is not for workloads demanding 10,000 RPM access speeds or 2.5-inch form-factor bays.

12Gb/s SAS interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface; the host backplane and controller must support this exact signalling rate for the drive to operate.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" hot-swap tray slide into a standard SAS backplane?

The drive uses a 3.5" hot-swap tray designed for SAS backplanes that accept 12 Gb/s Nearline SAS drives.

Does the hot-swap tray need any screws or tools to seat the drive?

The tray is tool-less; align the SAS connector and push until the latch clicks, a step often missed if the lever is not fully closed.

How often should the 7.2K Nearline SAS drive be checked for SMART errors?

Schedule a SMART scan monthly; Nearline SAS drives at 7.2K RPM typically show reallocated-sector counts before mechanical wear appears.
