DELL 400-AEEK 300 GB 2.5" 15000 rpm SAS internal hard drive

Dell 400-AEEK 300 GB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AEEK is a 300 GB internal hard drive built for 2.5-inch drive bays. It spins at 15000 rpm and uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface for data transfer. The unit is designed for hot-pluggable installation in compatible servers or storage arrays. It arrives in new condition with retail or OEM packaging.

Suited for High-IOPS Workloads

This drive suits administrators who need low-latency access for transactional databases or virtualisation hosts. The 15000 rpm spindle speed supports heavy random read and write patterns. Buyers who want more storage capacity per drive should look at larger-capacity models. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

Fits 2.5-Inch Hot-Plug Bays

The 2.5-inch form factor allows dense packing in multi-drive chassis designed for SAS hot-plug trays. Hot-pluggable support lets you replace the drive without powering down the enclosure. A compatible SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with 6Gb/s SAS ports is required for operation. The drive frees up 3.5-inch bays for other storage tiers.
