Dell 1.2TB SAS 10K drive

This Dell 400-AJPM drive provides 1.2TB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. It operates at 10000 RPM with a SAS interface running at 12Gb/s. The unit is built for internal desktop installations requiring high-speed rotational storage. It suits workloads that demand consistent throughput and low latency.

Hot-swap 2.5 inch SAS build

The drive uses a hot-swap tray design for tool-less removal while the system remains powered. Its 2.5 inch dimensions fit standard drive bays and backplanes designed for SAS connectivity. The 12Gb/s interface supports direct attachment to compatible controllers or expanders. Bare-drive packaging means no carrier is included unless supplied separately.

Bare drive requires separate tray

The product ships as a bare drive without mounting hardware or cables. Users must provide a compatible hot-swap tray or caddy for their specific chassis. No software utilities or firmware media are bundled with the drive. Integration depends on the host system's SAS controller and backplane support.

Questions about this item

What does the SAS 12Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SAS 12Gb/s link caps the drive's maximum transfer rate at 12Gb/s, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that bandwidth even if the 10000 RPM platters could deliver more.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5" hot-swap tray require?

The drive uses a standard 2.5" form factor with a hot-swap tray that slides into a compatible drive bay; the bay must accept 2.5" SAS drives and provide the backplane connector for the tray.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Insert the hot-swap tray into the powered bay until it clicks, then secure the latch; the step often missed is verifying the tray is fully seated so the SAS connector engages properly.
