Dell 400-AJQC 300GB SAS 10K Drive

This Dell 400-AJQC is a 300GB 2.5" internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface spinning at 10000 RPM. It is built for Dell servers and storage arrays that require a hot-swap tray. The drive delivers enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical workloads.

Suits SAS 12Gb/s hot-swap bays.

This drive fits 2.5" hot-swap bays using a SAS 12Gb/s backplane. It is not suitable for systems that only accept SAS 6Gb/s or other interface types. Buyers needing larger capacity or a different form factor should consider other models.

SAS 12Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5" hot-swap form factor. Your server or array must support this exact interface speed and physical tray type for the drive to function correctly.

Questions about this item

Does my server or storage array need a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane to use the 400-AJQC at full speed?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface; a 12 Gb/s backplane or HBA is required to reach the rated transfer rate, though it will negotiate down on older 6 Gb/s SAS infrastructure.

Can I mix this 10000 RPM SAS drive with slower SAS drives in the same array?

Mixing drives of different rotational speeds in a single RAID volume is not recommended; the array will perform at the speed of the slowest member and rebuild times may increase.

How can I verify the 400-AJQC is running at 12 Gb/s after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your RAID controller BIOS, HBA utility, or OS storage tools — it should report 12 Gb/s for this drive.
