Dell 1.2 TB SAS Hard Drive

This Dell 400-AUQN drive delivers 1.2 TB of storage on a 12 Gb SAS interface with a 10 K rotation speed. The 2.5-inch form factor fits compatible Dell PowerEdge servers including the R640, R740, R740XD, R940 and C6420. It is supplied new in OEM or retail packaging that may vary.

Suited for enterprise storage arrays

The drive suits administrators expanding capacity in supported Dell PowerEdge platforms that accept 12 Gb SAS 2.5-inch drives. Environments requiring a different interface such as SATA, or a larger physical form factor such as 3.5-inch, will need a different part. Buyers without a compatible SAS backplane or drive tray should verify fitment before ordering.

12 Gb SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the 12 Gb SAS interface combined with the 2.5-inch form factor. Only systems equipped with a matching SAS backplane and drive bay can use this drive. Check the server documentation for supported drive types and interface speeds.

Questions about this item

What does the 10K RPM rating mean once the drive is installed?

The 10K rotation speed reduces rotational latency and increases sustained transfer rates compared with slower enterprise drives, giving quicker response for transactional workloads.

What does the 12Gb SAS interface cap in practice?

The SAS 12Gb/s link provides up to 12 Gbit/s bandwidth per port, and actual throughput is limited by the controller and backplane in the server.

What does the 2.5-inch form factor need to fit or mount?

The 2.5-inch drive fits a standard 2.5-inch hot-plug bay with a SAS backplane; the kit includes the carrier required for Dell PowerEdge R640, R740, R740XD, R940 and C6420 servers.
