Dell 400-AEEI 300GB SAS Hard Drive

The Dell 400-AEEI is a 300GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for Dell PowerEdge R430, R630, R730, R730XD, T430 and T630 servers. The drive delivers a 600 MBps transfer rate in a new condition.

Suits PowerEdge servers needing 15K SAS storage

This drive fits administrators upgrading or replacing drives in the listed PowerEdge models where a 2.5-inch 15K SAS bay is available. Buyers needing larger capacity, a different interface protocol or a 3.5-inch form factor should look elsewhere. It is not intended for consumer laptops or desktop PCs.

15000 RPM spindle speed defines performance

The 15000 RPM rotation speed is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the latency and throughput requirements of the target workload. Verify the server bay accepts 2.5-inch SAS drives before purchase.
