Dell 400-AURK 900GB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AURK is a 900GB internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and spins at 15000 RPM for fast data access. The SAS 12Gb/s interface supports high-throughput workloads. This new drive is suited for database, virtualization and transactional applications.

SAS Controller and Hot-Swap Bay Check

Verify that your system has a SAS controller or backplane capable of 12Gb/s operation. The drive requires a compatible 2.5 inch hot-swap bay with the correct connector alignment. Ensure your RAID or HBA firmware supports 15000 RPM drives. Confirm the chassis can supply adequate power for the SAS interface.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The 15000 RPM spindle generates more heat and vibration than slower drives, so forced airflow across the chassis is necessary. Expect audible seek noise typical of high-speed SAS drives during heavy I/O. Power consumption rises under sustained random workloads compared to nearline models. The bare drive relies entirely on the enclosure cooling design.

Questions about this item

Does the 400-AURK ship with a mounting tray or cables, or must those be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit with a hot-swap tray; no data or power cables are included.

How do I decide between the 900GB 15000 RPM model and a lower-capacity alternative?

Choose the 900GB 15K SAS drive when you need maximum IOPS and capacity in a 2.5" bay for transactional workloads.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface mean for actual throughput in a server?

The 12Gb/s SAS link supports the full 15000 RPM media speed, so sustained reads and writes stay near the drive’s mechanical limit.
