Dell 400-AIER 1.8TB SAS 10K drive

This Dell 400-AIER is a 1.8TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is supplied as a bare drive with a hot-swap tray for direct installation into compatible bays. The unit is new and carries the original Dell part number 400-AIER.

Suited to SAS arrays needing 10K speed

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and require 10000 RPM performance with a 12Gb/s link. Systems limited to slower interfaces or lacking a SAS backplane will not be able to use this drive. Buyers needing a different capacity or form factor should consider other models.

SAS 12Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. The drive must connect to a controller or backplane that supports this exact protocol and speed. Without a matching SAS connection the drive cannot operate.

Questions about this item

What server or controller must I already have to install this 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s drive?

You need a system with a 2.5-inch hot-swap bay and a SAS controller or backplane that supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling.

Will this 10K RPM SAS drive work in the same hot-swap tray as my older 10K SAS drives?

Yes, the 2.5-inch form factor and SAS interface match standard hot-swap trays used for 10K SAS drives, so it fits the same carrier.

How can I verify the drive is running at 12Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or management utility; it should report the link speed as 12Gb/s and show the 1.8TB capacity with 10000 RPM.
