DELL 400-ARSO 800 GB SATA 2.5" internal hard drive

Dell 400-ARSO 800 GB SATA SSD

This Dell solid-state drive provides 800 GB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA 6 Gbps interface. It uses MLC NAND flash for mixed-use workloads and contains no moving parts. The non-mechanical design improves shock resistance and reduces noise, heat and power draw compared with traditional hard drives. It is a new component intended for internal desktop installation.

Suits Dell system owners adding fast SATA storage

This drive fits users who need a 2.5 inch SATA SSD to expand or replace storage in a compatible Dell desktop. The mixed-use MLC design handles both read and write demands typical of general computing and light server tasks. Builders whose chassis only accepts 3.5 inch bays without an adapter, or whose motherboard lacks a SATA 6 Gbps port, should consider a different form factor or interface.

SATA 6 Gbps interface determines compatibility

The drive connects via a standard SATA 6 Gbps (SATA/600) interface, which sets the maximum data transfer rate and dictates the required motherboard port and cable. Verify that the target system provides a SATA 6 Gbps connector and a 2.5 inch mounting location before purchase.
