3.5" SAS Hard Drive for Dell Systems

This 2 TB internal hard drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. It is built as a hot-swappable component for compatible Dell desktop or server chassis. The drive adds two terabytes of mechanical storage to systems that accept SAS-connected disks.

Suits Servers Needing Hot-Swap SAS Storage

It fits administrators expanding a Dell array that supports 3.5-inch SAS bays and hot-swap carriers. It is not for laptops, small-form-factor desktops or any system limited to controllers that cannot communicate over SAS. Buyers needing solid-state speed or a different physical connector should consider other options.

SAS 6Gb/s Interface Dictates Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching SAS backplane or controller. Without that connection the drive cannot function, regardless of its 2 TB capacity or 7200 RPM spindle speed. Verify the system documentation for SAS support before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 7200 RPM drive generate during continuous operation?

The 3.5" SAS drive spins at 7200 RPM and will produce typical mechanical noise and warmth for a desktop-class spindle; ensure your case airflow handles the extra heat.

What host interface and cabling are required to connect the SAS 6Gb/s drive?

The drive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface, so you need a compatible SAS HBA or RAID controller with internal SAS ports and matching cables.

Will the 400AUWX work in a server backplane that currently holds older 3 Gb/s SAS drives?

Yes, the SAS 6Gb/s interface is backward-compatible with 3 Gb/s backplanes, though the drive will run at the slower link speed.
