Dell 400-AGSW 600GB SAS Hard Drive

This new Dell 400-AGSW is a 600GB internal hard drive built for 2.5-inch drive bays. It uses a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s and spins at 15000 RPM for high transaction throughput. The bare drive includes a hot-swap tray for tool-less installation in compatible enclosures. It is suited for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand consistent low-latency performance.

Who this suits and who it does not

This drive fits administrators upgrading or repairing Dell PowerEdge servers and external arrays that accept 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap trays. It also serves workloads such as databases or virtualisation hosts where 15K spindle speed reduces average latency. Buyers whose chassis only support 3.5-inch bays cannot use this form factor. Systems lacking a SAS backplane or RAID controller with 12Gb/s capability will not recognise the interface. Environments requiring silent operation or solid-state endurance should evaluate flash alternatives instead.

The specification that decides fit

The SAS 12Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive works in your hardware. Your server backplane, HBA or RAID card must explicitly support 12Gb/s SAS signalling and 2.5-inch hot-swap trays. If the controller negotiates at 6Gb/s the drive will still function but at reduced bandwidth. Verify the part number 400-AGSW against your system's qualified vendor list before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s drive in a hot-swap tray and which step is often missed?

Slide the bare 400-AGSW unit into the carrier until the connector seats firmly, then lock the tray latch; the step most people skip is verifying the latch clicks fully so the SAS link trains at 12Gb/s.

What maintenance or replacement will the 600GB 15000 RPM drive need later?

The sealed helium-free mechanism has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire drive once SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or after the rated annualised workload limit is reached.

What limit appears first on the 15K SAS drive during sustained writes?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput, so sequential write speed plateaus at the bus ceiling before the 15000 RPM platters become the bottleneck.
