Dell 1.2TB 2.5" SAS 10K Drive

This new Dell 400-ALVW is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS interface spinning at 10,000 RPM. It is built for Dell servers and storage arrays that require a hot-swap mechanical drive. The bare drive delivers 12Gb/s transfer rates for demanding enterprise workloads.

Suited for SAS hot-swap bays

IT teams replacing a failed drive in a compatible Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault chassis will find the correct form factor and interface here. Buyers who need a different capacity, a non-hot-swap tray, or solid-state performance cannot use this unit. The drive is designed specifically for 2.5-inch SAS bays that accept 10K RPM mechanical media.

12Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface combined with the 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor. A backplane or controller that does not support SAS at this speed and physical connector will not work with the 400-ALVW. Verify the host system requires this exact interface and tray type before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM SAS drive produce when running all day?

The 10000 RPM spindle and SAS interface generate typical enterprise-level heat and acoustic output for a 2.5" 1.2TB drive; ensure your chassis provides adequate airflow for continuous operation.

What controller or backplane must I already have for this 12Gb/s SAS drive to work?

You need a SAS host bus adapter, RAID controller or server backplane that supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling and can address a 1.2TB 2.5" drive.

Will this hot-swap 2.5" SAS drive work in my older 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s SAS enclosure?

The drive negotiates down to 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s SAS links, so it functions in older enclosures, though throughput will be limited to the slower link speed.
