Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive mounted in black tray

DELL

DELL AL13SEB900 900GB 10K SAS 2.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-C4HZ-7BB0A MPN AL13SEB900

A 2.5-inch SAS drive spinning at 10000 RPM with 900 GB capacity and tray included

  • 900 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10000 RPM spindle speeds up data access
  • 5 inch form factor fits compact bays
  • SAS interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • Includes tray for quick installation

Capacity and fit

This 900 GB SAS drive spins at 10 000 RPM in a 2.5 inch form factor and ships with a tray for direct mounting in compatible Dell bays. It targets servers and workstations that need high-throughput mechanical storage in a small footprint.

Thermals, noise and power

The 10 000 RPM spindle and SAS interface generate measurable heat and audible seek noise under sustained workloads, so adequate chassis airflow is required. Power draw scales with spindle speed and duty cycle, making it higher than slower nearline drives.

Deciding specification

The 6 Gb/s SAS interface is the single factor that determines compatibility; the drive will not operate on SATA-only backplanes or controllers. Buyers needing SATA connectivity or larger capacities must select a different model.

Highlights

  • 900 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10000 RPM spindle speeds up data access
  • 5 inch form factor fits compact bays

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell AL13SEB900 into a 2.5-inch SAS bay using the included tray?

Slide the drive into the supplied tray until the connectors engage the backplane, then secure the tray screws to the chassis rails so the SAS port aligns without strain.

What maintenance or replacement will the AL13SEB900 need during its service life?

Mechanical wear on the 10000 RPM spindle and SAS interface may eventually require a full drive swap; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed enclosure.

Which limit appears first when the 900 GB drive runs sustained write workloads?

The 6 Gb/s SAS link and 10000 RPM rotational latency become the bottleneck before the 900 GB capacity fills.
