DELL 400-AJXO 1.8TB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM 12Gb/s internal hard drive

Dell 400-AJXO 1.8TB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AJXO is a 1.8TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a SAS interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require high-speed mechanical storage in a small form factor. The drive ships as a bare unit without a tray or bracket. This capacity and speed suit transactional databases and virtualisation hosts.

Suits SAS Bays Needing 10K Performance

This drive fits 2.5-inch SAS drive bays that can use a 12Gb/s link and 10000 RPM spindle speed. It is not for systems limited to 3Gb/s SAS backplanes or controllers that cannot negotiate the higher transfer rate. Buyers needing larger capacity or solid-state endurance should evaluate other options.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The host controller and backplane must support this signalling rate to realise the drive’s rated transfer performance. A 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s SAS environment will limit throughput. Verify the platform’s SAS generation before purchase.
