Dell 400-AUYZ 2.4TB SAS Drive

This 2.4 terabyte SAS hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and uses a 12 gigabit per second interface. It fits 2.5 inch drive bays and supports hot-swap trays for quick replacement. The drive is built for servers and storage arrays that need high-capacity, high-speed mechanical storage.

Thermals Noise and Power

Mechanical operation at 10000 RPM produces typical enterprise drive heat and audible seek noise under load. Power draw scales with spindle speed and SAS signalling, so airflow in the chassis should account for sustained write activity. No active cooling is included with the bare drive.

Build Integration

The 2.5 inch form factor allows dense packing in multi-bay enclosures or rackmount chassis with SAS backplanes. Hot-swap capability means drives can be exchanged without powering down the system. A compatible SAS controller or RAID card with 12Gb/s support is required to use the full transfer rate.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 400-AUYZ 2.5" SAS drive in a hot-swap bay, and which step is often missed?

Slide the bare drive into the carrier until the SAS connector seats firmly, then lock the lever; the step most often missed is fully engaging the latch so the 12Gb/s link initialises at boot.

What maintenance or replacement will the 10000 RPM 2.4TB SAS drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive after its rated service life or if SMART reports reallocated sectors; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed helium enclosure.

What limit appears first on the 400-AUYZ under sustained 12Gb/s SAS writes?

The 10000 RPM spindle caps sustained throughput around the SAS 12Gb/s ceiling, so thermal throttling engages before the interface saturates.
