Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive with hot-swap tray

DELL

DELL 400-AKID 1.2TB 10K 12Gbps SAS 2.5 internal hard drive

SKU CH-986R-6H5WW MPN 400-AKID

Stores 1.2 TB on a 2.5-inch 10K SAS drive with hot-swap support for Dell PowerEdge servers

  • 2 TB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 10 K RPM spindle delivers fast transactional throughput
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface enables high-speed server connectivity
  • 5 inch SFF form factor fits dense PowerEdge bays
  • Hot-swap support allows drive replacement without downtime

Enterprise SAS storage for Dell PowerEdge servers

This 1.2 TB drive runs at 10 000 rpm on a 12 Gbps SAS interface and uses 512n sector formatting. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. The firmware and tray alignment are validated for those platforms, so the drive presents as a direct replacement in supported arrays.

Hot-swap 2.5-inch form factor

The small-form-factor chassis slides into a tool-less carrier for rapid replacement without powering down the server. A tray sticker may not be included, so verify that your existing carrier matches the drive’s mounting holes before installation. Silver finish matches the standard Dell Enterprise aesthetic across current PowerEdge generations.

Verify controller SAS support and tray compatibility

Confirm that your RAID controller or HBA exposes a 12 Gbps SAS port and that the backplane supports 512n sector drives. The product ships without a mounting tray, so an appropriate Dell PowerEdge tray must be sourced separately if the original is missing. California Proposition 65 warning applies to this unit.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 Gbps SAS interface cap in practice?

The 12 Gbps SAS interface caps the maximum data transfer rate at 12 Gbps, though actual throughput depends on the controller and backplane in the Dell PowerEdge server.

What physical space and tray does the 2.5 SFF drive need to fit?

The 2.5 SFF form factor requires a 2.5-inch hot-swap bay and a Dell PowerEdge-compatible drive tray; the tray sticker may not be included.

How is the hot-swap drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the server bay until the SAS connector seats fully, then lock the tray lever; people often forget to verify the tray clicks into the backplane latch.
