Dell 400-AKLS 1.8TB SAS drive

The Dell 400-AKLS is a new 1.8TB internal hard drive built for Dell servers and storage arrays. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor with a SAS 12Gb/s interface and spins at 10000 RPM. The drive ships as a bare unit with a hot-swap tray for direct bay insertion.

Suits SAS 12Gb/s bays needing 10K speed

This drive fits administrators who need 1.8TB of capacity on a 12Gb/s SAS backplane with 10000 RPM performance. It is not for systems that only accept 3.5 inch form factors or interfaces other than SAS. Buyers requiring larger capacities or solid-state media should consider other options.

SAS 12Gb/s interface at 10000 RPM

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with 10000 RPM rotational speed. The drive must connect to a compatible SAS controller or backplane running at 12Gb/s to operate as intended. Without that specific interface and speed match the drive will not function in the target system.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained throughput first on this 10000 RPM SAS drive?

The 10000 RPM rotational speed limits sustained throughput before the SAS 12Gb/s interface becomes the bottleneck.

How much noise and heat does this 2.5 inch 10000 RPM drive produce during all-day operation?

A 10000 RPM 2.5 inch drive generates noticeable mechanical noise and heat under continuous load, requiring adequate chassis airflow.

Which controller or backplane must I already have to use this SAS 12Gb/s hot-swap drive?

You need a SAS 12Gb/s controller or backplane with a 2.5 inch hot-swap bay that accepts the drive tray.
