Dell 400-AIEH 2TB SAS Drive

The Dell 400-AIEH is a 2TB internal hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that use SAS connectivity. It suits administrators who need reliable capacity in a compact 2.5 inch form factor.

Hot-swap 2.5 inch SAS integration

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and a hot-swap tray so it can be inserted or removed without powering down the chassis. It fits standard 2.5 inch drive bays and requires a backplane or controller that supports SAS signalling.

2TB at 7200 RPM capacity envelope

Two terabytes at 7200 RPM provides solid sequential throughput for bulk data, backups and near-line workloads. The mechanical latency of a 7.2K spindle limits random IOPS, so high-transaction databases will need faster media.

Questions about this item

What is the rotational speed limit of the 400-AIEH under sustained workloads?

The drive spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface, so its sustained throughput is bounded by that spindle speed and link rate.

How much noise and heat does the 2.5" SAS drive generate during all-day operation?

As a 7.2K RPM mechanical drive it produces audible seek noise and measurable heat; mount it in a ventilated bay with airflow across the chassis.

Which controller or backplane must already be present for the hot-swap tray to function?

A SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter or RAID controller with a compatible 2.5" hot-swap backplane is required for the tray to connect and operate.
