Dell 400-AIWQ 1.8TB SAS Drive

This Dell 400-AIWQ is a 1.8TB internal hard drive built for desktop chassis. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The spindle spins at 10000 RPM to serve workloads that need consistent throughput.

Suits SAS bays without hot-swap

The drive fits systems that accept a 2.5 inch SAS device and do not require hot-swap trays. It is not for builds that need hot-swap carriers or capacities beyond 1.8TB. Buyers who want silent solid-state operation should look elsewhere.

SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface. Your controller or backplane must support this signalling standard. Without it the drive will not communicate with the host system.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 1.8TB SAS drive is running at 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive model 400-AIWQ in your RAID controller BIOS or Dell OpenManage; the reported rotational speed should read 10000 RPM and the link speed should show SAS 12Gb/s.

What comes in the box with the 400-AIWQ and what must I source separately?

The bare 2.5" drive ships alone; you will need a compatible SAS cable, a 2.5" drive bay or caddy, and a RAID or HBA card that supports SAS 12Gb/s.

Which version of the 400-AIWQ should I choose for a non hot-swap 12Gb/s SAS bay?

This single 1.8TB 10K model is the only 400-AIWQ variant; it matches a non hot-swap 2.5" bay running SAS 12Gb/s.
