DELL 400-ASDE 10TB 3.5" SAS 12Gb/s 7200 RPM internal hard drive

Dell 400-ASDE 10TB SAS Hard Drive

This Dell 400-ASDE is a 10TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It is supplied as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for direct installation into compatible drive bays. The unit is designed for desktop and server storage arrays that require high-capacity rotational storage.

Suited for SAS hot-swap bays.

This drive suits systems equipped with SAS 12Gb/s backplanes that accept 3.5-inch hot-swap trays. Buyers whose chassis or controller only support a different interface or a fixed-mount form factor should look elsewhere. The hot-swap tray is integral to the drive assembly and cannot be removed for static mounting.

Interface is SAS 12Gb/s

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. A controller or backplane must provide a SAS 12Gb/s connection for the drive to function. Without that specific interface the drive will not operate in the system.
