Dell 400-26983 1.2TB SAS Drive

This Dell 400-26983 is a 1.2TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high-throughput block access in a small form factor. The bare-drive packaging suits integrators and IT teams replacing or expanding drive bays in qualified Dell platforms.

Suited For High-IOPS Workloads

This drive suits environments needing consistent 10000 RPM performance over a 12Gb/s SAS link, such as database logs, virtualisation hosts or tiered storage pools. It is not for workloads that demand larger capacity per spindle or lower power draw than a 10K mechanical drive delivers. Buyers without a SAS 12Gb/s backplane or HBA should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification: SAS 12Gb/s Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with a 2.5-inch 10000 RPM form factor. Only systems with a compatible SAS 12Gb/s controller and 2.5-inch drive bays can use this drive. Verify the host controller negotiates 12Gb/s before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the bare drive include a mounting bracket or caddy, or must I supply my own?

The drive ships as a bare 2.5" unit without a bracket or caddy; you will need a compatible carrier for your server or enclosure.

The spec lists both 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s — which speed should I expect?

The drive interface standard is 12 Gb/s SAS; it will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s if the controller only supports that rate.

What sustained throughput can I expect from the 10 000 RPM platters in a typical RAID array?

Sequential reads approach the 12 Gb/s interface ceiling, while random I/O benefits from the 10 000 RPM spindle and low average latency.
