DELL 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5" internal hard drive 400-AJOQ

Capacity and interface

This 300 GB mechanical drive spins at 10000 rpm and connects through a SAS interface. The 2.5 inch form factor fits hot-plug bays in compatible Dell servers and storage arrays. It arrives new and ready for installation.

Suited for high-IO workloads, not bulk storage

The 10 000 rpm spindle suits transactional databases, virtualization hosts and other latency-sensitive tasks that benefit from fast random access. Buyers who need more storage capacity or a lower cost per gigabyte should consider larger nearline drives instead.

Hot-plug bay integration

The drive slides directly into a 2.5 inch hot-plug tray so it can be swapped without powering down the chassis. A SAS backplane or controller card is required to provide both data and power connections. The mechanical design leaves no need for additional cabling inside the bay.
