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

SKU CH-62CY-3AZ0G MPN 400-AKYC

Enterprise SAS drive stores 1.2 TB at 10K RPM with FIPS 512n encryption for PowerEdge servers

  • 2TB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 10K RPM spindle delivers fast transactional throughput
  • 12Gbps SAS interface enables high-speed server connectivity
  • 5-inch SFF form factor fits dense PowerEdge bays
  • FIPS 512n encryption protects sensitive data at rest

Enterprise SAS storage for PowerEdge servers

This Dell 400-AKYC drive delivers 1.2TB of capacity on a 12Gbps SAS interface. It operates at 10K RPM with a 512n sector format and FIPS encryption. The 2.5-inch small form factor suits dense server chassis. It is built for Dell PowerEdge environments.

Hot-swap 2.5-inch bay with SAS backplane

Installation requires a compatible 2.5-inch hot-swap bay and a 12Gbps SAS backplane or controller. The drive uses a standard SAS connector for power and data. A tray sticker may not be included with the unit. It frees up 3.5-inch slots for higher-capacity archival drives.

Sustained 10K RPM throughput under load

The 10K spindle speed maintains consistent I/O performance during continuous read and write workloads. FIPS encryption processes data inline without a measurable throughput penalty. The 512n sector size avoids emulation overhead on legacy applications. Thermal output remains steady in multi-drive arrays.

Questions about this item

At what point does the 10K spindle speed and 12Gbps SAS link become the throughput ceiling under sustained workloads?

The 10K rotational speed and 12Gbps SAS interface define the maximum sustained data rate the drive can deliver.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5‑inch 10K SAS drive produce when running continuously in a server chassis?

The 2.5‑inch form factor and 10K spindle generate typical enterprise‑class heat and acoustic output for a SAS drive under constant operation.

Which Dell PowerEdge server tray is required to install this 400‑AKYC drive?

The drive fits Dell PowerEdge servers but requires the correct hot‑swap tray for the specific chassis model.
