6 TB Nearline SAS Hard Drive

This 6 TB 3.5 inch drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. It is built as a Dell original part numbered 400-AMXK and ships as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray. The nearline design targets bulk storage in compatible servers and storage arrays.

Suits SAS 12Gb/s bays needing hot-swap 6 TB capacity

Administrators expanding a Dell PowerEdge or equivalent SAS enclosure can install this drive without tools. Buyers whose chassis accepts only 6Gb/s SAS or 3Gb/s SAS connections will not see the full 12Gb/s transfer rate. Systems without a SAS backplane or RAID controller cannot use this drive at all.

SAS 12Gb/s interface

The 12Gb/s SAS link is the single specification that determines whether the drive can deliver its rated throughput. A 6Gb/s backplane will limit performance to half the rated speed. Verify that your controller and backplane both support 12Gb/s before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 400-AMXK 3.5" SAS drive work in a server that only has 6Gb/s SAS backplanes?

The 400-AMXK supports 12Gb/s SAS and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on older backplanes, so it will function but at the lower transfer rate.

How can I confirm the 7200 RPM drive is running at the correct speed after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed in the RAID controller BIOS or SMART data; it should show 7200 RPM and a 12Gb/s link speed when the system is under load.

Does the bare-drive 400-AMXK package include a hot-swap tray or mounting screws?

The drive ships as a bare unit without a tray or screws; you must supply a compatible 3.5" hot-swap carrier and mounting hardware for your chassis.
