Dell 400-APGE 900GB SAS drive

This Dell 400-APGE is a 900GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a SAS interface. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction rates and low latency. The hot-swap tray allows replacement without powering down the chassis. Supplied as a bare drive in OEM or retail packaging.

Suits high-IOPS enterprise workloads

The 15000 RPM spindle speed and 12Gb/s transfer rate make this drive suitable for database logs, virtualisation hosts and tier-one storage tiers where random read and write performance is critical. Buyers who need larger capacity per bay or solid-state endurance should consider other media types. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5-inch hot-plug form factor. Your server or array must provide a SAS 12Gb/s backplane and a compatible drive bay; otherwise the drive will not connect or function.

Questions about this item

What sustained workload will hit the 12Gb/s SAS interface limit first on the 900GB 15000 RPM drive?

Sequential read or write streams that exceed the 12Gb/s SAS bus will saturate the interface before the 15000 RPM platters reach their maximum throughput.

How much noise, heat or power does the 900GB 15000 RPM SAS drive produce when running continuously?

The 15000 RPM spindle and SAS interface generate measurable heat and audible seek noise under constant load; ensure the server chassis provides adequate airflow for 2.5in hot-swap bays.

Which controller or backplane must the system already have to support the 12Gb/s SAS 900GB drive?

A SAS 12Gb/s controller or backplane with 2.5in hot-swap bays is required; the drive uses a standard SAS connector and 512n sector format.
