Enterprise 1.2 TB SAS drive

This Dell 400-AVRO is a 1.2 TB 10K RPM SAS hard drive in a 2.5-inch SFF form factor. It uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface and 512n sector formatting for Dell PowerEdge server deployments. The drive supports hot-swap installation and is sold new in OEM or retail packaging.

Server builders needing 12 Gbps SAS

Suits administrators expanding or replacing storage in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives with hot-swap trays. Not for desktop PCs, workstations or any system lacking a 12 Gbps SAS backplane and the correct Dell drive tray.

12 Gbps SAS interface

The single specification that determines fit is the 12 Gbps SAS interface combined with the 2.5-inch SFF form factor. Only servers with a matching SAS backplane and the appropriate Dell hot-swap tray can use this drive.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 400-AVRO drive in a Dell PowerEdge server and which step is often missed?

Slide the 2.5 SFF drive into the correct hot-swap tray for your PowerEdge model, then insert the tray until the SAS connector seats firmly; the step often missed is confirming the tray matches the specific server chassis before ordering.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1.2TB 10K SAS drive need over time?

As a mechanical 10K rpm drive, the bearings and actuator will eventually wear; plan to replace the unit when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or latency degrades beyond your RAID controller thresholds.

What limit appears first on the 12Gbps SAS interface during sustained writes?

The 10K rpm spindle speed caps sustained throughput well below the 12Gbps link ceiling, so the mechanical media transfer rate becomes the bottleneck before the SAS bus saturates.
